Kelsey and Doug were introduced through mutual friends at a trivia night at O'Connor Brewing Company. Their team, "Sparkle Motion," did not win that night, but sparks flew as they navigated questions about sports, album covers, chemistry, history, and beer. Kelsey, who is not particularly good at trivia, was impressed by Doug's knowledge and humor, and Doug was interested in meeting again. Over karaoke, Mexican food, and visits spanning the state of Virginia, their love for each other grew.
