Dylan and Kelly met online and had their first date on a snowy Chicago day in January of 2020. Although they intended it to be only a short afternoon at the Art Institute, their first date lasted well into the evening and spanned throughout the entire Loop because neither of them wanted to leave each other. From then on, they spent all the time together that they could (a pretty big deal for a couple of unwavering introverts). Kelly would endure I-94 rush hour to have dinner with Dylan on weeknights, and Dylan took the train to Grayslake every Friday night to spend the weekends with Kelly. This pattern continued (pandemic & all), until they relocated to Kenosha, WI together a little over a year later. Over the years, Dylan and Kelly have created a home of their very own together with their beloved cat, Frannie, and dog, Zucchini. They love exploring new things together—whether it's a local restaurant, a hiking trail, or a faraway destination. Above all else, they cherish time spent together on their couch, watching their favorite shows or playing games together. After four years together, the pair were engaged on April 8, 2024, while watching an eclipse at their favorite local park. They are so thrilled to embark on this new adventure together and are even more excited to celebrate with all of you!
