We met as freshmen at UNH! We both were assigned random roommates in Peterson Hall, and two of our roommates were already friends. From there, a bunch of us started hanging out, and by the start of the second semester, we were dating!
Kelsi had been impatiently waiting for Ryker to propose for months at this point, and started thinking of any scenario it could happen. The night before Kelsi's 23rd birthday, she grew suspicious that he'd propose on her birthday. Ryker immediately shut it down, so Kelsi gave up on that idea. On May 30th (Kelsi's birthday), Ryker bought Kelsi a picnic basket and took her to Clough State Park for a special picnic lunch! There, Ryker gave Kelsi one last present, the engagement ring <3
