Kelsey Hausmann + Bobby Orr

October 27, 2022

Stratham, NH

What began as a flirtatious encounter several years ago—after Bobby had served in the Army and done a tour in Afghanistan—has evolved into an endearing love story for this couple. “We worked across the street from each other in Boston,” says Kelsey, “and after a few weeks of smiling and making eye contact, he finally got the nerve to ask me on a date. Somehow our paths led us to the same city and the same street, and we are forever grateful for it.”

In October of 2020, the couple went to a park and got married—“just the two of us,” Kelsey says. The following year they moved to Stratham and had a baby boy, Kaden, who Kelsey says is the light of their lives. But with all the busyness of moving and having a baby, they never had the time to plan a dream wedding. That is, until a talented team of local wedding vendors donated their time and services to the couple. Kelsey adds, “It meant the world to us to celebrate our love with family and friends.”
