Kelly and Teal met in May of 2016 at Northpoint Church's college group. In just one conversation, Kelly was surprised by the energetic personality which encompassed Teal's conversation and demeanor. After that night, Kelly knew he had to get in touch with this new acquaintance but was devastated at the rumor that Teal was already spoken for and ready to drop the effort. In June, Kelly's good friend and future Groomsman Mason decided to ask Teal if the rumors were true, and was pleasantly surprised that they were not. Mason asked Teal if he could give Kelly her number and the rest was history. The next month was filled with fun texts back and forth and weekly dates to the beach, a favorite activity of both the Bride and Groom. For the next four years, the two did lots of scuba diving, going out and finding new favorite restaurants, and dragging Kale along on lots of adventures. Most importantly, the two began to admire and challenge each other's walk with the Lord, and purposely fostered that growth of the Lord in each other as well as individually. With a lot of prayer and blessing from Teal's Father, Kelly asked Teal if she would spend the rest of her life with him in October, 2020 in Yosemite. To Kelly's surprise, Teal said "Yes!" and now the two are about to embark on their most important and challenging journey together, Marriage.
