Our Story

A lifelong bond

Dave and Kelly’s story began in high school, where they were total opposites—Dave, the thoughtful self-proclaimed “nerd,” and Kelly, the spirited athlete always on the move. Life eventually took them in different directions. But years later, a bold Facebook message changed everything: “Well congratulations Kelly Thompson, you’re still hot.” At the time, Kelly was in graduate school in Indiana, so the two spent the next few months getting to know each other from afar—through late-night phone calls, endless text banter, and plenty of memes. They quickly became each other’s best friend. Over the years, they’ve shared life’s highs and lows, and somewhere along the way, their friendship grew into something deeper. They believe that the bond they built all those years ago is the foundation of the happy, lasting partnership they share today. And yes, Dave is still a nerd… just Kelly’s favorite one.

Please Read

Family & Friends, We are so excited to celebrate with you! There is one logistical detail we kindly ask everyone to take seriously, as it will directly impact the flow of the day for all guests. Parking at the venue is very limited, and too many cars can cause delays and long wait times. To help everything run smoothly, we ask that you please carpool whenever possible and utilize Uber or Lyft. Valet services will be available for those that do drive. Another great option is to park at the SeaStreak Ferry lot and either carpool or take a short 5 minute Uber ride to the venue—this will help tremendously! The address for the SeaStreak Ferry parking lot is 326 Shore Dr, Highlands, NJ 07732. Thank you so much for helping us keep the day running seamlessly. We truly appreciate it and can’t wait to celebrate together!

FAQs

Question

What is the Waterwitch Club—and why here?

Answer

Perched high above the coastline, the Waterwitch Club at Monmouth Hills is a private clubhouse where history, beauty, and quiet magic meet. With sweeping views of Sandy Hook, the Atlantic Ocean, and the distant city skyline, it feels both timeless and tucked away from the world. But for us, it’s something even more meaningful. This is where our love story began. The surrounding landscape—where the bay meets the ocean and wooded trails open to breathtaking views—has quietly witnessed so many moments that brought us closer together. Choosing this place felt natural and we couldn’t imagine beginning this next chapter anywhere else. We’re so excited to share a place so special to us with the people we love the most. We hope you enjoy!
