Chris and Kelsey met in 2010 through mutual friends. Kelsey had just graduated high school and Chris was making the most of his 20s. They went on a few dates over the years but did not start officially dating until July 2018.

Chris and Kelsey got engaged a few days after Christmas, December 29, 2021, in the beautiful city of Crystal River, Fl where they were on a family vacation with her parents and sister. Chris, Konni, and Kelsey had spent the day kayaking on Rainbow River and were meeting her parents for dinner at one of their favorite restaurants. Chris was adamant for everyone to get a group picture with the sunset – Kelsey should have known he was up to something as Chris has never voiced any desire to have his picture taken. After the photo Kelsey turned around to Chris on one knee proposing!

The past 4 years have been nothing short of amazing. They both have experienced so much growth, individually and as a couple. They love spending time with friends and family, and while becoming parents is something they plan on for the future, for now they love being fur parents to Peanut and Butter.

Chris’s sense of humor and his ability to keep her grounded in any situation is something that she will forever cherish. They are so excited not only for their big day, but to spend it with all of people in their lives that they love so much!
