Keely Rae and Derek Xavier Willis met in 2014 their sophomore year of college, during a night out with their friends. They ran into each other on the street - and the rest, as they say, is history. In February, after Dereks senior night recognition at Rupp Arena (where he played basketball), Derek Xavier Willis surprised Keely Rae by proposing in the middle of the court, where Derek had played basketball for 4 years. They're so excited to start the next phase of their lives together and can't wait to celebrate with you in August!
