Connor and Kelsie’s story begins with a common thread of dedication, determination and persistence. They went to the same school since middle school, yet it was high school when they first met each other, in Mrs. Stevens English class. Connor was a Junior and Kelsie was a Sophomore. Kelsie, the more shy student, noticed that Connor was cute and made her smile, but was way too scared to say anything. Connor noticed Kelsie and thought she was adorable and caring, and knew he wanted to get to know her better. Their last summer of high school was when they began to talk more frequently. By August, they were officially dating. The rest is history. Their affection for each other lasted through college at different schools, she attended Winthrop University and he attended Belmont Abbey College, where the two remained focused and determined. Later, both earned their Masters degrees at different schools as well, Kelsie at Clemson University, and Connor at Gardner Webb University. And now, the time is right for getting married and starting their life as one. Though it has been 7 years for Connor and Kelsie together already, their marriage is just the beginning to a lifelong journey of love together. Let the future begin!
