Our Wedding

We met in college at the University of Michigan through mutual friends; Go Blue! We spent the decade after college serving in the Navy (Matt) and completing Neurology residency (Kelsey). We reconnected on the dating app Hinge, having both moved to Grand Rapids a few summers ago. We have been traveling and sharing all sorts of adventures ever since. Earlier this year we made a lifelong goal of visiting the 63 U.S. National Parks together. Fittingly, we got engaged in the Tetons in September!
