It all began at a bar…..

In the summer of 2021, Nate went to the bar to get a drink and watch the Braves play the Mets. Fortunately, he didn’t pay attention to the game to notice that the Braves had lost. Instead, when he walked in, he noticed that there was a girl he had been waiting to talk to. There, sitting at the bar, with a seat open right next to her. This beautiful, vibrant, lovely woman with bright red hair and an intoxicating smile that was always preceded with a laugh that would make the weariest crack a smile along with her.

Nate pulled up a chair next to this woman, whom he soon learned was Kelli. Kelli and Nate sat and talked and talked and talked, until the bar was going to close. During this time, Kelli swiped Nate’s phone, coyly asked for his “code” and proceeded to put her number into his phone so that he could call her later.

The rest is history. Between several concert ticket stubs, Disney passes, Illinois and Florida toll receipts, and a new home: these two have found a life together and wish to celebrate this union and the years to follow with all of you.
