OUR LOVE STORY
How we met
Our love story is about as simple as a toddler trying to put on socks. A few years back, my best friend introduced us at a baseball game. We said "hey" and went our separate ways, like two ships passing in the night.
Then one fateful night in June of 2023, we randomly ended up at the same karaoke night at Crockets Bar in Morgantown, West Virginia. It was pure serendipity, like the universe was playing a cosmic prank on us. Zac wasn't even supposed to be there, and I was just trying to sing my heart out one last time with my coworkers before leaving my job to head back to Virginia.
Zac recognized me and tried to set me up with another guy. He had no idea I was secretly flirting up a storm until I just went for it and laid a big ol' kiss on him. The rest, as they say, is history. I can still hear my best friend warning me "don't you dare break his heart!" Little did they know, he stole my heart and I was about to steal his right then and there.
Two weeks after that fated meeting, I packed my bags and moved back to Virginia and our long distance relationship began. Talk about a whirlwind romance! Who needs a slow-burn when you can have a lightning bolt of love!

Fast forward to...
Well, buckle up because this long-distance love story is a about to take a wild ride! Zac and I were constantly racking up the miles, driving back and forth every weekend just to be together.
Things got really tricky when I received notice that I was accepted into the training program to become an air traffic controller. I had to move to Oklahoma City for training in February. For three long months, Zac was only able to visit once. It was the longest we'd ever been apart, and I was counting down the days until May, like a kid waiting for Christmas.
Then, the moment of truth – what facility was going to be available after training? Dallas or Atlanta? I'll give you one guess where I ended up. Yep, the ATL! I moved straight there from Oklahoma and dove right into my new job.
But the best was yet to come. Zac and I went on a cruise with his family at the end of May and that's when he popped the question! It took him five more months to finally make the move and join me in Atlanta, but hey, sometimes love is worth the wait!


Celebrate with us!
Now, mark your calendars for we are about to embark into the world of wedded bliss. I'm hoping everyone can join us in November and make our special day even more memorable. After all, a wedding is supposed to be a big ol' celebration.
We want everyone and their grandma to be there, so make sure you clear your calendars and get your dancing shoes ready. It's gonna be a celebration like no other, and we want all our favorite people to join in the shenanigans.
And while you're at it, why not make a little vacation out of it? Swing by the nation's capital, take in a few sights, and let the city work its beautiful magic. Trust me, it'll be an experience you'll never forget. Just don't forget to save some energy for the big day, 'cause we're gonna be partying like it's 1999!
Love,
Kaelyn
