It was a warm and rainy Tuesday in September 2020. We met for a "quick drink" at Clouds brewing. Over the course of more than a few hours we found out our lives had been running just slightly out of sync. Somehow a stranger we swiped right on turned out to be someone who went to the same high school, college and even had lived in the same apartment complex twice! When you find out the universe had already presented us with this many opportunities we knew we had to take it. We fell quickly and realized this could be the real thing. We were able to experience Mardi Gras in New Orleans, go to our first NFL game in Nashville, dance like fools at music festivals and concerts, and get engaged under the Northern Lights in Iceland. All while John realized while always being avidly a dog person, Kelina's cat Eloise, may be the animal to tip the scale. Alas, with all the happiness there were tough times that we were able to help each other through. From car accidents, to cancer to broken bones it solidified just how real this all was for the both of us. Somehow the hard times brought us closer allowing us to care for the other person as well as their family. Knowing how strong our relationship was due to tests life threw at us and realizing the other person would never falter their love and support. So here we are now enjoying life and wanting to take this next big life step with you all. Celebrating our love with people that were crucial in making us the individuals we are today and allowing us to be able to love as fully as we do is the most important thing. Without the love and guidance from so many we may have kept running in parallel lives. So we hope you are able to join us and allow for you all to continue to be a part of our perfect love story.
