We met in my pre-calculus class where Kevin was a student aid. I knew him as a smart, friendly guy who graciously graded my math homework. It wasn't until Kevin's senior prom that I started to have an interest, as we danced to "Don't Stop Believin'".... that's still our favorite song to dance to! We stayed connected as he attended UofL. On April Fools Day 2016, we went on our first date… to Goodwill of all places! When it came time for Kevin to meet the Dobson Family at the anticipated Memorial Weekend and then the Spaydes at our big Irish weddings, it amazed me how quickly Kevin became one of the family. He instantly joined the party, and wasn't scared off by how loud and large my family is! It has been incredible to meet the Seo family, learning so much about Korean culture and cuisine (ask me about the Saunas). Kevin has taught me the value of exploring new experiences, challenging each other to jump at the opportunity to try something new. Our most memorable trip was in 2018 to Ireland to meet my extended family and then 4 weeks in Korea to meet his family. We have built a life together through vibrant love and deep communication. Through 7 years of travel, joy, and success, hardships, stress, death, and a lockdown in a 2-bedroom apartment, Kevin has become my confidant and best friend. I can’t wait to explore this next chapter together!
To recount the story of Kevin and Bridget is to consider the purpose of life. We are born, we are dead, we are dramatic and within it all we are loved. At some point along life’s box of chocolates, the beautiful Lemon Truffle would dance with the handsome Almond Nougat at his senior prom. This was Kevin's first time dancing with a woman and the woman was painfully aware. Despite some bruised toes, the two had a fun night and saw each other again at Sean's college dorm. After a grueling series of physical trials and mental tribulations, Sean was content that it wouldn’t be super weird if our champion dated his sister. A few dates and school dances later, Bridget was sufficiently convinced Kevin was not a murderer and the two decided to fall in love. These heroes have dominated the dating world for years and intend to expand into the marriage market to uphold their dynasty for the rest of time.
