Getting Close!

Clark & Kelli met in Case Western Reserve University's wind band - and briefly worked together at the campus bar, The Jolly Scholar - in the Fall of 2016 and remained friends when Kelli transferred home to the University of Michigan the next fall. On a fateful day in January of 2018, they once again ran into each other at The Jolly Scholar and officially started dating two months later. After a year full of Greyhound bus rides (for Clark) and late night drives (for Kelli) while she finished her undergraduate degree, they moved in together in Cleveland.

Everyone needs a break now and then, and Kelli and Clark have been lucky to travel frequently over their five years together, with most of those trips revolving around some of their favorite places - amusement parks! Kelli grew up riding the biggest and best at Cedar Point, and though it took Clark a little time to warm up to the record-breakers, it's now become one of their favorite activities. Whenever they travel, the first thing to check is where the closest amusement park will be, and their 100+ roller coaster credits over 16 parks (and counting) speak for themselves - and will even make an appearance on the special day.
