how it started...

her own love story...

Our journey began in 2011 at Salisbury University, where we met in a Painting I class. Our friendship blossomed over shared artistic passions and mutual friends, leading to a romantic relationship in 2012. Friends often remarked on our connection even before we officially started dating, highlighting the genuine bond that underpins Pressed Fig Paperie.

In 2014, Buck proposed in one of their favorite places--Charleston, SC. He had such romantic intentions on how he was going to propose, but one of our best friends (she was also a bridesmaid and the officiant!) accidentally spoiled the surprise by texting Kelly instead of Buck. The two got married in May 2016 and it was the best day ever.
