Our Wedding

Kelsey grew up in Georgia and Illinois, then attended Indiana University (Go Hoosiers)! After graduation, Kelsey made her way to Arizona to start her career in teaching. John was born and raised in Minnesota and attended UMN (Row the Boat)! After five years of working in the Twin Cities, he left his home state to see what Arizona had to offer him. Turns out, that was the right move! A year later, John was at The Churchill in Downtown Phoenix when he got a tap on his shoulder from Kelsey. John and Kelsey have been inseparable ever since that day. In May 2024, John proposed to Kelsey at the same place they met. Whether they are playing tennis or golf, biking to a brewery, or singing karaoke on their patio late at night, Kelsey and John have enjoyed making the most out of each day together. The couple cannot wait for their special day and for many more memories to come as they begin the rest of their lives together.

Travel

Our Favorite Local Hikes: •Camelback Mountain - The Cholla side is less challenging than the Echo side, but both are Scottsdale staples! •Piestwa Peak - Pretty steep, but worth it for the amazing views of the valley at the end. •Dreamy Draw - A perfect hangover hike. The entrance is off of 32nd and Lincoln.
