Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Corey and Kelsey's love story technically started a year before they actually met, with a match on Bumble. Intrigued and excited, Kelsey sent the first message — only to realize that she had already messaged Corey a year before, and he had promptly left her on read. Thankfully, the second chance went much better! In fact, Kelsey canceled a second date with another guy to meet Corey at Mission Taco for their first date. Over tropical cocktails and a game of Truth-or-Drink, they both knew they had stumbled upon something special.From there, things took off. When the pandemic hit, they got the ultimate crash course in each other. Corey and Kelsey spent months finding creative ways to stay entertained: they took countless long walks through Tower Grove Park, did about a hundred puzzles, and Corey introduced Kelsey to the world of anime and video games (for better or for worse lol).Their shared love for games set the stage for the ultimate surprise when Corey proposed. Under the guise of a family trip to the driving range, Corey shocked Kelsey by flying in her family from Chicago. He then sent her on an elaborate scavenger hunt hidden in custom New York Times puzzles. A Wordle led her to Costco to meet her Maid of Honor, Vanessa; a Mini Crossword led her to a nail salon to meet her bridesmaid, Janella; and a final game of Connections pointed straight back to Tower Grove Park. In their favorite place in their favorite park, surrounded by loved ones, Corey got down on one knee and proposed in Tagalog!Corey and Kelsey's adventures have brought them from the mountains of Zion National Park to the sandy beaches of The Bahamas. This past fall, they packed up their two stubborn cats, Lobster and Donna, and bought their first home together in Owensboro, Kentucky. Now, they can’t wait to celebrate the start of their next chapter with all of their favorite people!
