Ian and Kelly were brought together by their mutual love of dogs and bikes. Ian hired Kelly to take care of his two rambunctious labs, Hank and Lloyd, while he went off on some of his adventures. They kept in touch between dog sitting gigs and Kelly eventually bought a mountain bike from Ian. They started riding together and the rest is history. They fell in love easily and became inseparable.

Officially dating since July of 2024, they have been on a few adventures together including a gravel race weekend in Bentonville, Arkansas and a two-week trip to New Zealand in January, which included lots of biking, a trip to Hobbiton and a proposal. They are planning their return trip to New Zealand for their honeymoon.

When at home, they love trail running with the dogs, riding mountain bikes and going for gravel rides, cooking together, camping and hiking in the Black Hills.

They feel so blessed and excited to get to share this special day with their closest friends and family.
