John and Kelsey met in 2019 when they both swiped right on Tinder. Kelsey was drawn to John who volunteered to help renovate her dream historical home (which is still a dream) and John was drawn to Kelsey who said she liked camping and sitting in silence (one of which has happened, take a guess). After an eventful try to get Kelsey to go on a date with him John finally succeeded in early September and the rest was history.
