Kaelan and Valerie met at Canisius College, specifically the library. Valerie lived in the library, so he always knew where to find her. Kaelan would only visit the library to see if she was there and if she wasn't he would turn around and leave lol. She knew from the moment she saw him, he was going to be someone special in her life, but little did she know just how special. He knew from the moment he saw her that he needed to know more. There was an instant connection and chemistry. Although, Kaelan did forget Valerie's name after our first time meeting each other (if you know, you know) lol.
Kaelan proposed to Valerie at the Buffalo Zoo in front of the giraffe exhibit (her favorite animal). Their first "official" date was at the Buffalo Zoo and he wanted to bring their story full circle. Everyone knew his plan except for his soon-to-be bride. Kaelan did not hesitate to drop to one knee and say "Valerie Palmer you are the love of my life, will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" Valerie of course was anxiously waiting for him to stop talking so I could say "YES!" lol.
