It all started when, at the beginning of 2024, Kelsey naively walked through the doors of the Ellis home for a church small group looking for nothing more than community. After months of gathering every Tuesday at their house, one Ellis specifically caught her eye. Little did she know, his parents were telling him about a special girl in their church small group.

When the summer hit, group hangouts became more frequent and Kelsey and Luke did everything they could to get in the same room as one another. Luke even started a co-ed rec softball team so that Kelsey would sign up... and she did (solely to spend more time with Luke). Once Luke finally got the hint that Kelsey was into him, he asked her out on a date. That "date" ended up being 6 hours long, and they stayed up talking in his childhood backyard until 4 in the morning. As Luke would say, after that night, forever started.

They started officially dating just a couple of weeks after that first date. Shortly after that, they went on the Ellis family vacation together, which solidified their relationship even more.

And then it was time to bring Miss. Amelia Grace into their story. After a couple of months of dating, Kelsey finally started spending some time with Amelia, and she immediately stole her heart. They now watch endless hours of Bluey together and cannot wait for the years to come as a family.

Close to 6 months later, Luke got down on one knee and asked Kelsey the question she'd been waiting to hear from a man far beyond her prayers. The classic when you know, you know love story... one so good that only God could have written it.
