Pop the champagne! We're getting married!

The year is 2016, Jackie and Kyle are getting hitched in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Luckily for Hailey, Bryan's date canceled on him. He invited Hailey's future knight in shining armor, Brad Kelley, to be his plus one. Through the Dolphin rides and chugging beers out of a snorkel (they should have known here that they were in for a wild ride), Hailey and Brad got to know each other. Hailey knew it was love when Brad asked her to put sunscreen on his back. Brad knew it was love when he heard Hailey's drunken toast to the newly weds. Big Mike knew it was love when he couldn't get Hailey out of Brad's room on Jackie and Kyle's wedding night (we were only sleeping, WE SWEAR!). Unfortunately paradise came to an end and it was time to go home. Brad was starting college at Ohio State University, Hailey would go on to live in Lakewood. They went their separate ways (could you imagine if they didn't? They would have like 6 kids by now), years passed, relationships came and went. Unbeknownst to them, the universe was working it's magic. Fast forward 4 years, it's 2020. A worldwide pandemic is happening. Hailey's living with her roommate, Terri (mom) in North Ridgeville. Jackie moves home from California and in with Hailey and Terri. One day Jackie brings up Brad Kelley and suggests that Hailey should hang out with him. "He lives close by and he's a nice guy. You guys could just be friends, you don't have to like date?!". After thinking about it for a few days Hailey decided to take Jackie's advice. She thought Brad was cute and didn't have anything to lose. As Brad LOVES to tell people this part, Hailey "slid into his DM's on Instagram". To Hailey's surprise Brad was open to hanging out but told Hailey he was "just too busy and needed to find time". He found the time one July night after partying on a Tiki boat all day. He invited Hailey to hang out at Mulligan's with him and Colin. There Brad told Hailey he was looking for a wife (most people would run if someone said this to them, but let's appreciate the straight forwardness). Hailey was happy to hear this because she has known he was the one since Mexico. Brad asked Hailey to officially be his girlfriend in September, 2020, even though they hadn't really spent a day apart since first hanging out on July 25th. Fast forward to January 15th, 2021 Hailey and Brad found out they had a baby on the way. Griffin Patrick Kelley was born on October 5th, 2021. Brad asked Hailey to spend forever with him on December 21st, 2021. Hailey and Brad had finally found their missing puzzle piece, each other. Life's fast, you gotta keep up and when you know, you know. Sláinte!
