Back in Kent in 2018, Kit was working at the local Starbucks, while Kelly was busy with her studies at Kent State. They were like stars in adjacent orbits—Kit at Starbucks, Kelly at the Dunkin' Donuts just across the street. One day, Kelly stopped by Starbucks for a coffee and was immediately drawn to the large, intricate chalkboard drawing next to the counter. Curious, she noticed the Instagram handle signed at the bottom and decided to check it out. As an artist herself, she followed Kit's social media to show her support, even though she didn’t know him at the time. A few months later, Kit noticed Kelly's likes on his posts and decided to reach out with a friendly DM. What started as a casual conversation quickly blossomed into a genuine friendship. However, after the Spring of 2019, life took them on different paths. The world slowed down in March 2020, and as people began reconnecting virtually, Kit and Kelly found themselves rekindling their bond. Their renewed connection soon evolved into something deeper, and on April 8, 2021, they officially began their relationship. Three years later, on April 8, 2024, they celebrated their anniversary in an extraordinary way. Under the awe-inspiring total solar eclipse, a rare celestial event, Kit proposed to Kelly. It was a once-in-a-lifetime moment that perfectly mirrored their unique and serendipitous journey together.
