Mark and Kelsey both attended the recently acclaimed #1 Party School, Syracuse University, and first met at a beer olympics in October 2015. Kelsey's roommate brought Mark and his friend as her teammates where Mark quickly learned about Kelsey's competitive side. They spent the next three years running into each other more and more until they were together almost every day leading up to the end of their senior year. As we all know, distance makes the heart grow fonder and they both moved back to their hometowns after graduation. After multiple drives to each other and occasionally meeting in the middle, Kelsey moved to Boston in 2021. They were able to spend every day together again, trying new restaurants and bars, going to Red Sox games, and watching (almost) every single Boston sporting event there was. Of course, Mark always changed the channel when a commercial of the Giants beating Tom Brady in the 2008 SuperBowl came on. Almost 9 years after they first met, and when Mark was finally sure he wanted to marry Kelsey, Mark proposed near the Boston Harbor on the rainiest day of the year.
