Kelly & Paul’s Pretty Seven Bridges Golf Club Wedding

Nov 27

Kelly and Paul met through their mutual friend whenKelly was invited to be on Paul's softball team. She declined that invitation because she was busy training for a marathon and had a long work commute (an invitation she still regrets declining, but knows that timing is everything). It wasn't until 2018 when Kelly went out for her friend’s birthday dinner at Quartino, where Paul worked at the time, that they hit it off. All of the girls at dinner were saying how great Paul looked and that someone should date him, Kelly agreed and volunteered herself. The girls wasted no time and wrote Kelly's phone number on a comment card and on their way out told Paul to call her that night. Paul had poker plans with his friends and made the wise decision to wait until the next morning to text Kelly. It took almost 2 weeks for their schedules to align to go on a date but they quickly became a priority to one another despite opposite work schedules and were falling in love in no time!

Fast forward to 2021, Kelly and Paul started house-hunting in the suburbs. After a year of spending much more time at home because of the pandemic they were ready to get out of the city, have a little more living space and a yard for their dog, Turtle. Kelly started making a lot of jokes that a proposal better be coming soon now that they were buying a house. On June 27th, the 2nd to last time they woke up in their first apartment together, with a mattress on the floor and moving boxes everywhere, Paul snuggled Kelly and told her how much he loved her and asked her to marry him. He previously led her to believe the whole day would be spent packing but little did she know he had booked her a manicure appointment and with the help of friends planned a surprise engagement party that afternoon to celebrate. And they closed on their house the next day!

I loved getting to know Kelly and Paul during their engagement session last November, we had so much fun together. It was clear from that evening that Paul was over the moon for Kelly! We were so happy to find out that Kelly was pregnant when we met with them to go over the details for their big day!! Kelly was eight months pregnant for their wedding day but didn’t let that slow her down, she was on her feet and enjoying every second throughout the day! It was just the perfect celebration capped off by a romantic sparkler sendoff (with Kelly in a sparkly maternity mini!) We had so much fun being there for this unforgettable day!
