Kelley and Jeff met at Newberry College. They hit it off when they realized they shared passions for travel, fitness and sports. They both relocated to North Myrtle Beach after school and enjoyed many amazing trips together over the years, including skiing in Vancouver and riding dune buggies in Las Vegas. Kelley works in the golf industry, and Jeff popped the question at home while the pair was getting ready to attend a World Amateur tournament event.

The May 25, 2019, wedding at Pine Lakes Country Club had a romantic, moody feel, with florals and day-of coordination by Waterside Event Design. The pair’s golden retrievers, Maverick and Finn, were part of the ceremony. A living painting was done by Meredith Piper Art, creating a unique keepsake. The travel-loving pair spent their honeymoon exploring Greece.
