A long time ago, way back in the year 2009, when Roger was still studying at UK and Kristy was moving to Lexington to start at BCTC took a chance on meeting in person after meeting online. We were soon sharing all of life’s journey, from being dog parents to traveling the world together.
After over a decade of sharing that journey, we decided to take the big next step: getting married! Our shared love of travel made the proposal venue a no-brainer; what better place to do it than on a cruise? In Roger’s mind, there was also no better symbol to put on Kristy’s finger than one representing our shared love of video games, the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda.
Unfortunately, the ring Roger had ordered was not ready in time for the cruise in October 2022 when the proposal was originally supposed to happen, so it had to be delayed several months until a shorter cruise could be planned.
Finally, on the last day of January 2023, on a ship somewhere off the northern coast of Cuba, Roger finally put the Triforce ring on Kristy’s finger, showing to the world that we had the power, wisdom, and courage to spend the rest of our lives together!
