always, in all ways

Kelsey and JP have a long and interesting history. The abbreviated version goes a bit like this... The two met at Salisbury University when Kelsey was a sophomore and JP was a senior. Meeting through mutual friends, Kelsey and JP thought, quite literally, nothing of each other at first. They cannot remember when or where they met. They are even unsure when or why they exchanged contact information. But, we are sure glad that it happened! Bonding over their love for the Steelers and sarcasm, the two periodically exchanged text messages to share a joke or to assess Pittsburgh's defense. During the first couple years of knowing each other, the two would meet up, only ever with a group, to play tennis or to enjoy a theme party, as acquaintances. Over time while building a friendship through text messages and random Salisbury visits, the two grew close. They would travel to Pittsburgh for football and baseball games, ride roller coasters (JP's first time) at Six Flags, and prepare for their first "adult" jobs together. After Kelsey graduated, she moved to Pittsburgh for graduate school. By this time, it was a no secret that JP had become quite fond of Kelsey. Silly Kelsey, at the time, was not able to return the feelings and the two went separate ways for a couple years. One day, despite his better judgement, JP reached out to Kelsey and the two picked up right where they left off, talking like things had never changed. While falling back into their old patterns, Kelsey was also falling in love. Kelsey and JP began dating in August, 2015. The first year of long distance was challenging and worth it. Finally, in fall of 2016, Kelsey and JP were together, in the same city, enjoying the company of one another daily. On July 1, 2017 JP asked Kelsey to be his wife, and she quickly said yes.
