Either way you look at it, we met at the Hop. We technically first met at the back of the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth when Keli picked up Will to drive him to church one Sunday in the fall of 2021. But then months passed without seeing each other. Finally, we met again in January 2022 at the front of the Hop on our way to the March for Life. And exactly two weeks later, we had our first date! The rest is history :)

It was Keli's 21st birthday, and Will made the entire day a special celebration. At the end of the night, we went to Dartmouth's golf course to stargaze. God cleared the sky for us, bringing out all of the stars. It was absolutely beautiful. Sitting on the hood of Will's car, we talked about how blessed we are to be in love with each other. With a promise to forever show his love, Will got down on one knee and asked Keli to be his wife. After the shock of seeing the absolutely beautiful ring in a bright yellow ring pop box, Keli said yes! We cannot wait to get married, to dedicate our married life together to God, and to celebrate with you all!
