Welcome to our love story

Our journey together began during a vacation to OBX, where Kelly was invited to join her friend for the weekend. Kelly had no idea that her friend’s family vacationed with Robby’s family every year, bringing us together for the first time. What started as a slow-building connection quickly flourished, fueled by our shared love of sports. We made it official at a Nationals game and have since bonded over trying new experiences, supporting each other's athletic dreams, and exploring new places to eat. Kelly launched Tidal Beach Volleyball Club, with Robby expanding his own personal training brand, Tidal Fitness, from it. Despite two years of long distance while Robby pursues his baseball career and master's degree in Kansas, our love has only deepened—especially through our shared affection for Kala, our beloved dog who has become a central part of our story. Three years after we first met, Robby proposed at the very place it all began: OBX.
