On a fateful day in October 2018, Ethan and Kelsey met while dining at a busy Red Star Taco Bar in Tacoma, WA. Kelsey and her dear friend Tanis went for happy hour and were given a large booth. Not long after being sat, their server asked if it were alright to sit another couple down with them. As extroverts, they welcomed the new pair and Ethan sat down. They shared drinks and conversation; exchanging social medias before parting ways.

Almost a year later, Kelsey became a true Pacific Northwestern and purchased a mint conditioned 2009 Subaru Impreza. This gave Ethan, a 'Subie' enthusiast himself, an opportunity to slide into her DMs, December of 2019. After three months of persistent courtship, they finally went on their first date at Dirty Oscars Annex in Tacoma on March 12th, 2020- just three days before the first COVID lockdown. The rest was history!

Ethan and Kelsey have been completely inseparable since their first date. Their love burns deeply and grows more each day as they raise their two sons, Hendrix and Edwin, together. We look forward to celebrating our love with you, June 22nd, 2024.
