Our Wedding

Who knew grocery shopping could lead to "happily ever after"? A few run-ins at Trader Joe's in Foxborough brought Kelsey and Arty together. Thanks to a little push from a friend, Kelsey bravely left her number for Arty (on a receipt, no less!). Our first date at Tortilla Flats in Providence in the spring of 2019 was just the beginning. We officially became "us" on June 8th of that year. After four years of love, laughter, and adventure, Arty popped the question at the stunning North Carolina Museum of Art on December 9, 2023. We're beyond excited to celebrate our wedding in August 2025 in our favorite place, surrounded by our amazing family and friends.
