How We Met

2 Midwesterners Find Love Out East

As many modern romances begin, we first met on the dating app Bumble. Kelly's opening line? "You're way cuter than my dentist". It was September 2020 and COVID restrictions were still very much in force. But Justin and Kelly found ways to get to get together outside and enjoy all the DC/Baltimore area had to offer. True to Kelly's Irish roots, their first date was at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Maryland. The conversation was so great, they continued on to share a few orange crushes in Baltimore's Fells Point. We now go back to Guinness every year to celebrate New Years! And orange crushes are our favorite drink -- you'll have to try one with us at the wedding!
