Lindsey and Kevin first met long before weddings were even a thought, back in Catholic middle school (I know right), when Lindsey was in 7th grade and Kevin was in 8th. They became each other’s first boyfriend and girlfriend, sharing those early, innocent moments that somehow never quite fade. As life often does, it eventually pulled them in different directions. They went on to attend different high schools and, over time, drifted apart. Years passed, but the connection was never completely lost. In 2013, Kevin bought a German Shepherd puppy from Lindsey — a very good boy named Abbott — and in a small but meaningful way, their paths crossed again. It wasn’t until 2021 that Lindsey and Kevin truly reconnected, this time as adults with a lot more life behind them. Reconnecting wasn’t without its challenges, but with time, patience, and commitment, their bond grew stronger. They’ve been together ever since, navigating life side by side — through thick and thin, a long engagement, bringing home many puppies and the excitement (and chaos) of buying a home together. Now, after growing up, finding their way back to one another, and building a life rooted in love, laughter, and loyalty — shaped in part by the love of two unforgettable dogs, Abbott and Elvis — Lindsey and Kevin are so excited to celebrate this next chapter with the people who mean the most to them.
