Kelsey’s and Anthony’s story may seem like one that starts with the typical ingredients of a success story written by the best fairy-tale novelists, but it doesn’t. They first met in a neutral location, and neither was looking for love. It was shortly after Kelsey began as a Dispatcher for the Sheriff’s Office and she attended a briefing held by the night-shift Sergeant. During the briefing, which is held at the beginning of shift, Kelsey arrived early and chose the seat that Anthony had self-assigned as his. Anthony didn’t make Kelsey move from his seat, which was abnormal because he frequently had people move. Looking back, this was a telling moment of the future ahead. Although Anthony didn’t ask Kelsey to move or make her known of her offense, he took notice of how she became an instant fixture in his life. At the end of the briefing, unbeknownst to Kelsey, Anthony found himself infatuated with the girl who broke the unwritten briefing rules. Given the nature of the working relationship of Dispatchers and Deputies, Anthony’s interest in Kelsey did not go unnoticed. Anthony’s coworkers recommended he introduce himself to Kelsey, but he flatly knew Kelsey was out of his league and rebuffed his coworker’s advice. Kelsey also felt a level of attraction toward Anthony she was unaccustomed to, but she kept this to herself. Her coworkers recognized the mutual attraction between the two and recommended she try to establish a relationship. Kelsey took it upon herself to reach out to Anthony, because he clearly had missed the signs. Kelsey was able to view reports Anthony wrote in the performance of his duties as a Deputy. Kelsey relayed to Anthony she viewed his writing style (either real or imagined) as unique and interesting to read in her downtime. Two months after Kelsey met Anthony, she began to communicate directly with him. Anthony is an astute guy, but he didn’t notice Kelsey’s interest in him. If you ask Anthony, he’d say Kelsey was so far out of his league and he knew she was simply being polite. As it turns out, Kelsey was just as smitten with Anthony as he was with her, but he’s not as smart as he looks. The two continued to casually converse over the next few months, but Anthony was blind to the direction Kelsey was trying to take the relationship. It wasn’t until the advent of Tinder that Anthony got the hint. Kelsey and Anthony found themselves causally using the dating app with varying levels of success. Neither was particularly fond of the app, but it was a way to pass the time and sometimes proved to be a rich source of comedic entertainment. In early April '19, Kelsey and Anthony stumbled across the other’s profile and they both swiped right. It wasn’t until then Anthony realized Kelsey’s interest extended further than a polite working relationship, and it wasn’t until then that Kelsey realized Anthony wasn’t an idiot. From this point forward, the relationship Kelsey and Anthony built was one of mutual respect and understanding. Their schedules at the time were chaotic and the chance for a first date was hard to come by. Kelsey was due to go on a vacation that would delay their meeting even longer, but neither wanted to wait until she returned to see each other for the first time out of the work environment. The day of Kelsey and Anthony's first date was April 14, 2019. Anthony picked Kelsey up at about 9 pm and they spent the evening driving around the Black Hills. The attraction the two had for each other was obvious and it seemed silly it had taken so long for their first meeting to occur. Within the first 5 minutes, Kelsey and Anthony knew they had something special. It was on this first date that Kelsey and Anthony shared their first kiss. Over the years, Kelsey and Anthony built a loving relationship still based on respect and understanding. Kelsey and Anthony have shared many adventures over the years, and the couple is so excited to share their special day with you and make you a part of this experience.
