This love story began in the summer of 2021 at a party in Washington, D.C., hosted by Kip. Anna was invited by her cousin Quinn—who also happens to be Kip’s best friend from Villanova. Kip’s attention immediately turned to Anna when she walked into the room, prompting her to say, “So you’re the famous Kip who convinced Quinn to move home.” They hit it off instantly and didn’t leave each other’s side. In the weeks that followed, Anna frequently spent time with Kip and Quinn—something she later learned had been requested by Kip. A month after they met, on Kip’s 27th birthday, he revealed his feelings to Anna. They soon started dating: first, a happy hour on the rooftop at Union Market, then officially becoming a couple over dinner at Filomena. The next three-plus years were a blur—devouring the D.C. food scene, meeting each other’s families, spending hours laughing with close friends, and riding the waves in Rehoboth and Nantucket each summer. By 2025, Kip knew it was time to make his best friend his wife. On February 20, 2025, during a snowy ski trip in Deer Valley, Utah, he proposed. Afterward, Anna was surprised by their parents for dinner, her brothers for drinks, and their closest friends the next day. From days full of laughter and love to life’s most challenging moments, Anna and Kip have found in each other the person to weather every storm. They can’t wait to celebrate their love, loyalty, and friendship with their soon-to-be Quinn-Soltesz family and dearest friends.
