We're so excited to celebrate with you!

Kelly and Christopher were introduced by one of Kelly's closest friends (and bridesmaid), Emily. Emily and Christopher worked together and, after many months of asking, Emily gave Christopher Kelly's phone number. At the time, Christopher lived in New Hampshire and Kelly lived in Philadelphia, so the two connected over long talks on the phone until they could finally meet in person. By the time they first saw each other on June 2, 2017, they already knew they were meant for each other.

On a beautiful Friday in early June, Christopher suggested having a picnic dinner on the beach for a change of scenery after months of lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. He and Kelly loaded up a packed cooler, a small charcoal grill, their favorite wine and cheeses, and of course, Franklin. Christopher had previously found a secluded spot on a nearby beach where they could watch the sunset over the bay and enjoy an evening out of the house. He put on their favorite Bob Marley playlist, poured them each a glass of wine, and tried to wait patiently for the sunset. As they sat and laughed and talked about their summer plans, Christopher suddenly got out of his chair, walked around to face Kelly, and got down on one knee. Through the happiest of tears, she said yes!
