As spoken by one of their favorite artists, Tommy and Kellie found love in a hopeless place - the cubicles of 1001 Haxall Point in Richmond Virginia. No known photographical evidence exists of their first interaction at Buffalo Wild Wings after work one Friday night. Bystanders suggest Tommy was head over heels at first sight... but Kellie was focused on the wings.

Illustrative example of what the first encounter at Buffalo Wild Wings looked like...

Tommy moved to Atlanta for a new job. The couple embarked on a long distance relationship, while Kellie remained in Richmond for one more year. Kellie then packed up and moved across the country to San Francisco in 2018, which made the flights longer but the time spent exploring the West Coast together that much sweeter.

Highlights include: GameDay in Athens, biking across the Golden Gate Bridge, day trips to Napa, traveling to Minneapolis to watch UVA win the National Championship... and Kellie secretly entering Tommy in the Infamous Hot Dog Eating Contest of July 4th 2018.

In Summer 2019, Kellie and Tommy both got new jobs in New York City and decided to move in together, which is when Tommy was nicknamed "The Roommate" by Kellie's Mom. Their first apartment had just enough room for two people and some leaky pipes (along with a history of flooding, they soon discovered).

COVID broke out shortly thereafter, and a year was spent out of New York with their families in Texas and Florida.

During that time a third member of the family was introduced, Reggie, who has since stolen the show and their hearts.

Since then, Kellie, Tommy and Reggie have built a life together in New York. Tommy proposed to Kellie last June in Central Park with family and friends joining in the celebration.

That's the story so far - the best is yet to come.
