In 2014 they met in college at Ball State University. It all started with a bet... yep, you heard that right a bet. Although we are not so sure if it was a bet or request on her part... They met at a gathering at his house, oh who are we kidding it was not a gathering; it was a good old-fashioned house party with red solo cups for days! That does not make the story any less romantic once you hear the ending! That night Kirstan bet Johnny "I bet you a dollar you won't kiss me before I leave." So , did he kiss her? oh you betcha! They had a mutual friend Matt Skelly ( Brazas Wedding Officiant), He was Kirstan's neighbor and Johnny's good friend, so luckly the two of them started to see more and more of each other around campus. Thankfully, since the night they met, neither of them even gave each other their phone numbers. Skip forward a few months- Johnny spun their first kiss situation back on Kirstan when he asked her to be his girlfriend a few months later, placing a ticket on her car reading, "I bet you a dollar you won't be my girlfriend". They have come a long way since sharing pitchers at the Chug, to sharing their first home together, and adopting a fur family of four. They got engaged in April of 2019 while Geocaching in Lexington, KY Kirstan’s favorite city. Also - If you have never been Geocaching--it comes highly recommended. Now present day almost four years after their first kiss, they will be joining together officially as a family!
