Our friendship began in the fall of 2015, and by July 29, 2016, we transitioned from friends to dating. At that time, Patrick was 17, and Kelly was 15.

Even though Patrick attended Bishop Carroll, and Kelly attended Cambria Heights, we shared the experience of attending three proms together and celebrating each other's high school graduations.

While Patrick attended Saint Francis University, Kelly moved to Maryland for three years to attend Allegheny College of Maryland. Patrick visited and volunteered frequently as a patient.

Kelly graduated and began working as a dental hygienist in 2022. Patrick graduated and began working as a physical therapist in 2023.

Over that past 7+ years we have experienced so many beautiful places together, and we look forward to more adventures in our future.

Patrick finally decided to make things official with the biggest surprise on October 14, 2023.

We discovered the perfect home for us a little sooner than expected in June of 2023. We have been working together for the past 8 months to make it our own. Patrick has already made the move, and Kelly is excitedly waiting to join him after the wedding.
