In a world driven by swipes and likes, Tre and Kelsey's love story began with a simple match on Hinge. Little did they know that match would change their lives forever.

Tre had been captivated by Kelsey from the very beginning. She was short and sweet, with a love for the color black. Though it took Kelsey a few days to respond, Tre waited patiently, knowing something special was brewing. When she finally replied, Tre’s first impressions were that she was sexy, smart, funny, and carried herself with a commanding presence. Their first date, at Canyon Cafe, became the beginning of something much bigger. Tre would never forget how Kelsey, with her radiant smile and fierce personality, effortlessly ensured their waitress was attentive and prompt, subtly reflecting her high standards.

On Kelsey's side, her journey toward meeting Tre wasn’t an accident. Fate had seemingly placed Tre in her path, from frequenting the same areas to eventually crossing virtual paths on Hinge. Though their connection had begun online, the real magic happened when they met for the first time in person. As Tre pulled up, Kelsey instinctively knew it was him, even though they hadn’t discussed the details of his car. The moment their eyes met, something sparked within her—something undeniable and cheesy, like all those romantic clichés she never believed in. From that instant, Kelsey knew that Tre was the one. By their second date, her heart had already decided, though she didn’t confess it until Tre said those three words a month later, while she was far away in Greece.

Their relationship was more than just sparks and romance. It was built on trust, resilience, and, for a while, distance. Separated by different states, time zones, and even countries, Tre and Kelsey made it work. They were, as Usher would sing, "U Got It Bad." The connection between them was so undeniable that they even went to see Usher perform live in Las Vegas, dancing to the tunes that echoed their journey.

The milestones came naturally. Tre and Kelsey took a huge step together, purchasing a house and turning it into a home. Not long after, they embarked on a memorable trip together to Hawaii, where Tre met Kelsey's family—an unforgettable moment for them both. Soon after, their family grew with the addition of their crazy, but lovable dog, Kenzo, making their home feel even more complete. Every moment together, whether big or small, felt like another building block in the right direction. At last!

When the time came for Tre to propose, he wanted it to be special. He had been talking to his friend Dontay about different ways to make the proposal memorable. One day, it hit him—a sporting event! Tre knew it had to be done at a Cardinals game. To keep Kelsey from finding out, Tre enlisted the help of Tori to orchestrate everything behind the scenes.

On the day of the proposal, after the game, Tre led Kelsey to the iconic STL sign. To her surprise, family and friends were waiting in the background with confetti, balloons, and a large sign that read, "She Said Yes." As Kelsey's back was turned, Tre got down on one knee. Her first glimpse of him in that moment brought her to tears of joy! Her answer was immediate - she said yes without hesitation, perfectly capturing the magic of the moment.

What makes Tre and Kelsey’s love so unique is not just the grand gestures, but the little things they adore about each other. For Tre, it’s Kelsey’s unwavering drive. She’s patient, always eager to learn, and carries herself with a determination that Tre deeply admires. For Kelsey, it’s Tre’s sense of humor, his zest for adventure, and the way he loves her, unconditionally, despite her strong will. Together, they balance each other perfectly.

Their shared love of family values, food, music, fashion and loyalty also tie them together in beautiful ways. They’re both ambiverts, knowing how to thrive in the social world yet find comfort in their quiet moments alone. As they look toward their future, filled with endless possibilities, one thing is certain—Tre and Kelsey have found their forever in each other.

A swipe may have started their journey, but it’s love that will carry them through for the rest of their lives.
