Kelsey and Ryan’s relationship was sparked by a sweet little white lie. Kelsey was ecstatic to find her childhood friend, Shaquille, at Texas A&M with her. The friends reunited, and as they rekindled their friendship, Shaquille began thinking that Kelsey would make a great couple with his roommate, Ryan.  He invited Kelsey to a Midnight Yell, and this is when Shaquille got sneaky! He told Kelsey that Ryan thought she was cute, and he told Ryan that Kelsey thought he was cute! That night, they both headed into Midnight Yell a little more interested in each other, and their friend Shaquille gets all the credit for helping them form this relationship!

Kelsey is a high school English teacher while Ryan is a coach and geography teacher. For their very first spring break, they headed to Washington D.C., a city Kelsey fell in love with after watching the movie National Treasure. They enjoyed a play at the Kennedy Center, and as they took an evening stroll around the Washington Monument, Ryan got on one knee and proposed to Kelsey.

Kelsey and Ryan planned a stunning wedding at the Vineyard at Florence. Rain fell lightly on the rolling hills of the vineyard, but Kelsey and Ryan rolled with it, and they had the outdoor wedding they envisioned despite the rain. Kelsey and her dad are amazing dancers, and they wowed their guests with a special choreographed routine! Kelsey and Ryan, it was an honor to take part in your day!!!
