We're getting married!

It was senior year of high school in 2015, and Kelly and Thomas first crossed paths in Spanish class. Neither of them had the courage to make the first move... until the Fourth of July that summer. Kelly knew Thomas would be at a party, so she found a way to get herself invited. As the night went on, she finally built up the nerve to talk to him… only for him to announce he was heading to another party. Disappointed but undeterred, Thomas left the scene, only to find himself walking down the street before something hit him: He wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip away. Without a second thought, he turned around, ran back to the party, and ditched his plans to spend the rest of the evening with Kelly. Just a month after they started dating, Kelly headed to SUNY Cortland to study English, while Thomas went off to Quinnipiac to study Business. For the next four years, they didn’t just make it work, they made it special. Weekends were filled with FaceTimes, surprise visits, and road trips, each one feeling like a mini adventure. After graduation, they were more than ready to put the distance behind them and start building their life together. Then, in January 2024, Thomas decided to add a little extra magic to their story. He surprised Kelly with a trip to Boston, where he convinced her that they were just meeting a friend at the iconic Boston Public Library. Instead, he gave her a book he had written about their story, got down on one knee, and asked her to marry him. And so, here they are, gearing up for the next chapter of their love story…
