Branden and Kesley Higginson

Braden and Kelsey Higginson shared their story of meeting at Murray State.
Branden鈥檚 POV: "I was sitting in Winslow with a friend enjoying the first wing Wednesday
of the year when a group of girls came in laughing and they sat directly across from
us. The group was really loud but the source of the constant laughter seemed to be
one girl in specific. She was joking and giggling about the food when me and my friend
joined the conversation. The girls all introduced themselves each giving us their
names and the loudest of the group (my future wife) was Kelsey. I later realized that
I had a class with one of the girls from that table but it wasn鈥檛 Kelsey. One random
day she gave me Kelsey鈥檚 number and told me to reach out. We had our first date in
New Franklin. Kelsey was a part of the honors college and one of the first people
to live in this new building. The rest is history."
Kelsey鈥檚 POV: "My friends and I met Branden in Winslow. I really didn鈥檛 think anything
of it but my friends started telling me about how they would see him around campus
and he would always mistakenly call them Kelsey. It seemed my name was the only one
he remembered from that night we all met. We put two and two together and realized
he was interested in me and at the time my friends needed a ride to a party so my
number was leverage to get that ride! However Branden was an RA who just happened
to be on call that weekend. So we never got that ride to the party but I ended up
with a boyfriend and eventually a husband."
