Our first date💕

🎟🎭🎟 Red Ryder BB guns, Pink Bunny Footie Pajamas, and Fragile (fra-jee-lay) Leg Lamps🎄

The house lights came down, the curtains opened, and the magic of the theater entranced us. Laughter filled the room as the traditional holiday humor played out and yet this romantic experience was entirely new for the both of us. We were just two strangers at the beginning of an adventure holding hands in the shadows of the stage lights and wondering what would happen next. The only certainty we had was the undeniable attraction we had towards each other. Luckily, that unforgettable night was the foundation for our ever strengthening friendship. Our love for each other started there in that intimate setting and we wouldn’t have changed it for the world.

Act Two

🎭🎟🎟💍 Sardines On/ Sardines Off🐟

Fast forward 8 years. Same quaint little theater. Same love for the arts. A stronger love for each other. We arrived, took our seats, and laughed until our cheeks hurt! The show was amazingly fast paced with staged choreography, slapstick humor, and hysterical chaos! After the cast took their bows we headed to the lobby for a welcomed chat of appreciation and admiration for our close friend who played the lead. It was in those moments that the proposal was made. Jason took his knee, presented the ring, and asked, “Kelsey, will you marry me.” Kelsey was mostly speechless but was still somehow able conjure the words, “Yes I Will” from behind her tears. Our friend screamed , “WE HAVE AN ENGAGEMENT”! The crowd in the lobby roared with applause and cheers of congratulations. We were then briskly whisked away to center stage where the director cued the lighting and allowed us to capture our moment with the essence of the theater all around us. We are sure it could not have gone better any other way and are grateful to have such loving friends in our lives. The adventure we started all those years ago had just taken a new path and opened our imaginations to distinct possibilities only found through love.
