“Our mothers brought earthen pots from home, partly to symbolize that they nurtured us, and then planted this new life with us,” Kelsey explains.
During the newlyweds’ first dance, they were accompanied by Legend’s song “Surefire.”
The joy from their picturesque wedding was also shared by their two children – a daughter named Poppy and a newborn son (whose name has not been revealed).
As parents, Kelsey and Joc share that they want to encourage their children to “always pursue their goals in life.” They don’t want their children to be perfect. However, they do want to make sure they know that “when it comes to dreams, the sky is the limit.”
Their children are often stars in social activities.
