Who knew that two German Shorthaired Pointers would bring two people together for life? In Jacksonville in October 2020, Kelsey and her dog Dolly were quarantined due to Covid. Newly returned to the area, Kelsey decided to strike up conversations on an online dating site and began swiping left. Then she spotted someone with lots of photos of his travel ventures, Ryan. A big traveler herself, Kelsey swiped right. In response and noticing Kelsey’s dog, Ryan thought if nothing else, his dog Stella would gain a playmate, so he swiped right, too. And so began this love story! Ryan and Kelsey have spent the last three years having so many adventures – Alaska, Canada, Hawaii, Switzerland, UK, & Spain. They share a love of hiking and being outdoors, taking Dolly and Stella along when possible. In June 2023, Ryan surprised Kelsey with a proposal after an uphill hike in Ashville, NC. They can’t wait to celebrate their wedding ceremony with you on August 17, 2024.
