Kelton and Hope first met as freshmen at Southern Utah University in 2021. From the very beginning, they shared an easy connection — spending time with roommates, going on hikes through southern Utah, and laughing their way through countless adventures. What started as a friendship quickly grew into something more, and before long, they knew they had found something special in each other.

Through the years, their relationship has been built on love, laughter, and shared adventures — from college days and road trips to long-distance summers and sweet traditions, like celebrating Valentine’s Day with a 30-count Chick-fil-A nugget tray (a tradition they’ve proudly kept alive).

Kelton and Hope have always been there for each other — cheering one another on through school, work, and life’s ups and downs. Their bond only deepened over time, and when Kelton proposed in the mountains, it was the easiest “yes” Hope had ever said.

Now, after years of memories, adventures, and plenty of nuggets, they’re ready to begin the greatest adventure yet: marriage. They cannot wait to celebrate with their family and friends as they start this new chapter together.
