The first time Kelly saw Robert was at Sullivan's Restaurant, the summer headquarters for every McManus. This legendary eatery was famous for serving lunch—and sometimes dinner—to every police officer, firefighter, town worker, fort worker, and even a young Robert. At 20 years old, Robert was living the dream, patrolling the beach on a golf cart and handing out tickets like a tiny beachside sheriff when he first laid eyes on Kelly. Robert struck up a conversation with Kelly because he recognized her from Christ Our King School. Their first date was memorable: they got the skiff (boat) stuck in the mud at Morgan's Creek. They were so busy chatting and bonding that they completely lost track of the tide and the time. Kelly channeled her inner Wonder Woman, lifted the boat out, and pushed it free. Nothing says romance like a little mud wrestling with a boat! Robert knew after this date that Kelly was the one for him. She was cool, super easy to talk to, down to earth, beautiful, and someone he thought he could hang around with all day. Robert was completely won over when he discovered Kelly's eclectic taste in music, appreciating everything from country ballads to rock anthems with equal enthusiasm. Kelly and Robert have been through it all: the good, the bad, the mullets, the mustaches, and every questionable hairstyle in between.
