\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Congratulations on your engagement, guys! So first thing\u2019s first, how did you two meet?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse: We met online. Christian Mingle to be specific. I saw her profile and thought she was cool so I sent her a message.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you do the whole friends first thing or did you plunge straight into dating? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse and Kelsey: We pretty much went right into dating. We didn\u2019t really have a \u201cfriendship period\u201d first. We like to call it, \u201cdating with a purpose\u201d. Our first date was July 29th 2017<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"When did you guys feel that certain connection when you knew you\u2019d found \u2018the one\u2019?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse: Our third date I knew she was it. We spent like 5 hours just talking about everything. After that night I knew it was her.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Kelsey: we both knew that we were the one for each other on our third date. We seriously grilled each other on our beliefs, likes, dislikes, and were vulnerable toward each other!<\/span><\/p>\n

Aww \u2013 if that isn\u2019t true love, we don\u2019t know what is! How long have you guys been together? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse and Kelsey: We\u2019ve been together (seeing each other since July 2017, our anniversary as a couple is August 19th 2017!!! Cannot wait to celebrate our 2 year anniversary at the Jersey shore<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wow, who doesn\u2019t love the Jersey shore?! Do you have a lot of similarities or are you one of those \u2018opposite attract\u2019 couples?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse: We have a lot of similarities which is good. To me it means we get along perfectly and we\u2019re like best friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Kelsey: one thing that has been the most attractive about Jesse is the fact that he stands with what he believes in and he does not crumble under pressure. We both have similar relationship experiences and expectations, faith based expectations, and overall our mind-set about life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you planning to have kids after m<\/strong><\/span>arriage or anytime soon?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse and Kelsey: We do have plans to have kids. Not sure when exactly haha but we do want them. Definitely see us having kids 1-2 years after marriage!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So speaking of marriage, where are you getting married?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse and Kelsey: We will be getting married at St. Paul\u2019s church in Allentown PA.<\/span><\/p>\n

What made you realize that you want to spend the rest of your lives together? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse: Just the fact that we have some much in common. We have the same beliefs and values I just knew.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kelsey: on the third date when he accepted me for me and didn\u2019t judge me or laugh at me when I was vulnerable and honest about my past with him, that was when I knew he was the one for me, because he accepted me no matter what!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Aww, we think we might cry! Now let\u2019s talk about the sparkles. First of all, how did you find us?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse: I found your website though Google. Just browsing for rings. And I\u2019m so glad I did.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Ah, you guys, we\u2019ll try not to blush. And who chose the engagement ring design? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse: I chose the design. She had no idea at all until the day I proposed<\/span><\/p>\n

How did you surprise her, Jesse?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse: We were in Pittsburgh for the weekend and I surprised her by taking her to a huge fountain I knew about in the city and proposing there.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have chills.\u00a0 We wish you all the luck in the world on your magical journey.<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
