We're getting married!

Kelsey Reed was always hesitant about the world of online dating and frequently questioned doing it at all. She rarely made the first move but one day, when scrolling in March 2022, KR saw a photo of this extremely gorgeous and adventurous looking guy jumping off a cliff into the Chattahoochee River. She hesitantly sent a message saying, “Cute.” Ted responded immediately and they continued chatting about how KR claimed she had “good knees” which Ted mentioned he liked in his profile. They decided to speak on the phone because Ted was in Michigan visiting friends & family. They ended up laughing almost the entire conversation. It was less than a week later they had their first date, March 29, and their energy match was confirmed. While Kelsey Reed thought it was silly this guy wore a headband on a first date, Ted couldn’t resist her ripped, white jeans and genuine smile. Their initial bonds and mutual interests in music, travel, lifestyle, and new experiences drew them closer together, quickly creating a real connection. Six months after meeting, they made a big leap neither of them had ever done— they moved in together. Living together has allowed them to grow closer, deepen their connection and support each other through challenging times. It has also allowed them to show their silly sides and to truly be their quirky selves around each other. The fun times and antics have given them self-proclaimed nicknames of Noodle & Boodle. We’ll let you guess who’s who. Since that day in March ’22, they have traveled to the corners of the earth together. They have learned to hold space for each other during these amazing, yet sometimes stressful adventures and have returned to tell about it and revel in those moments of growth. Both of their lives have been changed forever because of all the winding paths that led them to the ultimate path, each other. The joyful moments and challenging times have taught them to firmly believe their lives have intertwined for a bigger reason. And that reason is “forever.”
