HOW THEY MET In the cafeteria at the college they attended (yes, so romantic). A year later, a mutual friend set the up on a double date and cliché as it is, the rest was history.
THE ENGAGEMENT He proposed through a “children’s book” he created for her, through a story where he was in search for the other half of his heart. It was the perfect surprise and she cried and said yes, and they spent the evening going out to dinner and dessert and celebrating.
WHAT ATTRACTED HER TO HIM Ian’s sense of humor and his friendly and caring nature. He was easy going, fun and has a singing voice like you’ve never heard! 
WHAT ATTRACTED HIM TO HER The way she lives live…she’s thoughtful, intelligent, beautiful, and loves living life fully… and cute!
A DATE THEY’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER Ian gave Kelsey a private concert in a church auditorium and played all of her favorite songs and the songs he had written for her.
