We met at an awesome bar in Atlanta called Tupelo Honey in January 2019. Kelsey was just starting busy season and Rawson was a few weeks in to his new job after moving back to Atlanta from San Francisco. After a few drinks and small bites, we realized that we had a lot in common and some mutual friends. We both knew pretty quickly that we found "the one" and starting officially dating a few weeks later. Our first date made us both realize that love at first sight was a real thing and the rest is history!

Rawson knew after about 6 months of dating that he was going to propose, the only question was when? For our 9 month anniversary, we went to Canoe which has become one of our favorite places to eat in Atlanta. Just like the rest of you, 2020 was a weird and challenging year for us and that certainly included figuring out how and when we could get engaged. We had an anniversary come up last July, and that was the perfect "cover-up" for a reason for us to go out to a nice dinner. Rawson planned for a photographer at Canoe to hide out in the bushes to capture the moment and he proposed down by the river on a beautiful summer afternoon. It was everything that we both could've ever wanted from the weather to the tears to the champagne and fabulous dinner that followed. Afterwards, we met some close family and friends at a nearby brewery and celebrated! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you. See you at Barnsley Resort!
