Kelly and Augie's love story began in March 2022, when they met on Hinge. Their connection was instant, and their first date marked the start of a beautiful journey together. They shared a mutual love for adventure and exploration, often spending their time hiking, kayaking, and visiting national parks. Even on quieter days, they cherished game nights and solving puzzles together.

Their bond grew stronger with each passing day, and on Christmas Eve, Augie decided to take their relationship to the next level. While on a scenic hike with their beloved dog Doggie, he proposed to Kelly, creating a moment filled with love and joy that they would cherish forever.

Their wedding day was a perfect blend of elegance and natural beauty, held at the picturesque locations of the Current Hotel and the Rusty Pelican in Tampa. Kelly and Augie and doggie prepared for their special day at the Current Hotel, a modern and stylish venue next to the Rusty Pelican. The ceremony took place outside near a charming gazebo, surrounded by nature and the serene atmosphere they both loved.

After exchanging vows, the celebration continued in the ballroom of the Rusty Pelican, where friends and family gathered to honor the couple. The reception was filled with laughter, heartfelt speeches, and dancing, capturing the essence of Kelly and Augie's love and the joy they bring to everyone around them.

Kelly admires Augie for his patience, kindness, and thoughtfulness, and she can't help but be proud of his big, brilliant mind. Augie, on the other hand, treasures Kelly's silly, fun-loving spirit and her fierce devotion to supporting her loved ones, both human and animal. Together, they make an incredible team, bringing out the best in each other and creating a life full of love and adventure.
