According to their wedding registry, TJ Edwards and his GF Kelly plan to get married on February 25, 2023, in Los Cabos.

Kelly and TJ met at Wando’s Bar during Super Bowl weekend in 2016.
TJ and his friends wandered into Wando’s Bar on a Friday night when TJ realized he had never seen Kelly bartending there before. Instantly, TJ attempted to use his smooth one liners on Kelly’s mixology skills, and apparently that’s all it took for Kelly to notice him. After that weekend, TJ became a regular at Wando’s Bar.

They decided to make it official in 2017. Most of their weekends consisted of bartending and football. Many times Kelly would work an early shift and moped straight to TJ’s game to support and catch the second half.
TJ and Kelly decided it was time to move in together. Kelly moved to Philadelphia and shortly after TJ surprised her with Harlow  (their fur baby) for her birthday.
