Men, take notes. ✍️ Ask ✍️ her ✍️ to ✍️ bring ✍️ her ✍️dog.

Kelly and Ray went on their first day five years ago at The Mill Restaurant in Downtown St. Pete. They instantly bonded over their shared love for Game of Thrones and dogs. Ray insisted that Kelly bring along Bailey on their third date. After pulling their outdoor table towards the street because she saw another dog, ruining Ray’s shorts with her muddy paws and more mischievous things–Kelly thought Bailey had doomed a love interest. Instead, Ray laughed the entire thing off, gave Bailey a pat on the head and got new shorts. Kelly knew then that this was something special.

Marriage is about teamwork and this couple makes the perfect team. Kelly is the organized one who keeps everything on track while Ray makes sure that they have fun! They love to travel, go to theme parks, take walks with Bailey and go on long bike rides.

After having to reschedule their wedding date, Kelly and Ray eloped during the pandemic in beautiful North Carolina. Their wedding day was full of happiness, family and friends. Even Bailey made an appearance during the ceremony. They said their I Do’s at the beautiful Isla Del Sol. They even provided TVs for their guest so they could watch their rival college football games (Kelly is a Gator and Ray is a Buckeye fan!) We loved being a part of this couple’s story! Congrats to your happily ever after!
