Kelsey and James LaHue

By  0 Comments

Tied the Knot: October 26, 2019

Of all the dating apps in cyberspace, bumble was the one that brought Kelsey and James LaHue together. And how appropriate it was, as they discovered connections and intersection points that didn’t introduce them to each other until they were ready to meet.

Kelsey (Bartolich) LaHue, 32, holds an undergraduate degree in health sciences and masters of public health. She’s currently employed with Cerner Corporation as a consultant. She and James live in Kansas City, Missouri, with their feline baby, nine-year-old Dora, and enjoy cooking and baking together, traveling, music and lounging with their favorite Netflix shows. 

James LaHue, 32, has a background and education in architecture and currently works for a home remodeling company. He enjoys woodworking and creating various art pieces in his free time and hopes to start selling his work through his own business one day soon.

As Kelsey and James became acquainted, their paths to meeting each other, and the near misses those entailed, unfolded. “Both of our families grew up in Lexington, Missouri, and Kelsey’s uncle and my dad used to hang out in high school,” James reports. “We both went to the University of Missouri during undergrad, but we never knew each other until three years ago!”

James proposed at Liberty Memorial. “This is one of our favorite spots in Kansas City,” Kelsey smiles. “My husband’s roommate has a ten-year-old pug who is like a second dog to us. We’ve enjoyed taking him for walks around this area, so it was extra special and sweet!”

The blissful couple tied the knot October 26, 2019, with a host of friends and family in the wedding party. Kelsey’s bridesmaids were five of her closest friends from college and her cousin; James was accompanied by his brother and high school and college friends. The venue was a special place for Kelsey’s family, as the wedding took place in the same church where her father and stepmother were married three years previously.

Kelsey and James will honeymoon this month at an all-inclusive resort in Negril, Jamaica, where they can enjoy the warmth, the beach, and relax for an entire week.
