Kelly & Robert met in 8th grade home room in 2010 (during which time Kelly had a huge crush on Robert). They became friends late in high school and stayed in touch afterwards as their friend groups planned summer get-togethers in Ocean City, New Jersey. They started dating in June 2018 - 7 years ago! Robert was at University of South Carolina and Kelly was at Wake Forest, so weekend trips with their college friends became the norm during their senior year. After graduation, Robert began his Army career at Fort Bragg, North Carolina while Kelly began dental school at the University of Maryland and joined the Air Force. They had the unique opportunity to make new memories every time they saw each other, traveling to different cities like DC, St. Louis, Richmond, and Charlotte, to name a few. In March of 2023, Robert secretly planned a private dinner on the beach in St. Martin to propose to Kelly and she of course said yes! Long distance for 6 years seems crazy even to us, but "distance makes the heart grow fonder" has certainly proven to be true. Most importantly, we've learned to never take each other for granted and to cherish every moment we're lucky enough to spend together. In the summer of 2024, Kelly & Robert moved to Oahu, Hawaii to start their life together in paradise. We can't wait to continuing sharing all of our future adventures and milestones with our family and friends, and we are so excited to celebrate our marriage with you!
