It was during the earliest months of COVID, they had a mutual friend who was eager to introduce them to each other. They were both living with their parents at the time and did not want to seem irresponsible by going on dates (the entire city was shut down anyways). Instead, they had virtual dates where they first got to know each other, and Kevin sipped his whiskey off-screen because this girl was so gorgeous that she made him nervous. Kevin wrote her haikus, they played virtual chess and watched Netflix Party. A couple months passed and they were so eager to meet. They had their first in-person socially distanced date at Sweet Paris Creperie at Baybrook Mall. They lost track of time and nearly 3 hours passed. Kevin learned on the first date that Chelsea LOVED her coffee. Second date was happy hour and dinner, third date was Kevin teaching Chelsea how to play tennis. After an hour of Kevin chasing tennis balls, they sat and talked. They learned about each other's past, goals, quirks, and intentions. Kevin quickly learned that he saw a future in Chelsea he had never experienced before. He was excited to see what their future had in store for them! Since then, they got their first maltipoo fur baby named Mochi, they have been each other's date to 8 weddings, road tripped to Austin in his new Tesla and nearly got stranded, and traveled to the Philippines, Japan, Cancun, Cabo, Lake Tahoe, Hawaii, Vegas, Big Bend, Yosemite, New York City, Louisiana, and Florida. Oftentimes when they are together, they discuss their careers, aspirations, children, and faith. Kevin knew he wanted to continue traveling the world and one day plant roots in Houston with this special person - Chelsea. So, on Sunday, Oct. 9, 2022 he asked his best friend to marry him at the location where he first set eyes on her-- Sweet Paris. They learned that they can indeed cry happy tears. They cannot wait to continue stamping their passports and building many more cherishing memories together! They absolutely look forward to spending their special day with every one of their closest family and friends! Please come help them celebrate and kick off their new chapter as a married couple!
