Our story begins in the small town of Institute, WV at a place called West Virginia State University. Kelly had just started working there in December 2021, and somehow ended up in a text message with Bryan. Bryan noticed Kelly immediately. Bryan took interest immediately, while Kelly did not. Through a lot of persistence, Bryan was able to convince Kelly to come out to eat with him. After more texting and interactions, we quickly became close and decided to give it a shot. Bryan proposed on July 3, 2022 in Kelly's hometown, at her favorite high school hang out spot and activity, Freddy Hill Farm - Ice Cream and Mini Golf.
