We are both musicians. On October 4, 2013, Timmy was invited by a mutual friend to a show that Kelly was playing at, in downtown Fairborn at the Fairborn Opry. He didn’t even like bluegrass music but decided to come anyway! He helped run sound that night and they kept eyeing each other from the stage to the sound booth. Timmy decided to friend request Kelly on Facebook that night and the rest is history!
On September 27, 2017, we were in downtown Fairborn again, this time in front of the old store that Timmy used to work at, for the Skyhawks homecoming parade. The plan was for Kelly’s son Dillon to be in the parade holding flowers and give them to Kelly during the parade and Timmy would propose at that point. However, the parade ending up starting way earlier than expected and the flowers didn’t get to Dillon in time! So when Dillon ran up to us as he was walking in the parade, Timmy got down on one knee and popped the question, and our friends Kyle and Leila brought the flowers after!
