A Philadelphia woman surprised her husband with more than a fun activity on date night.
Christina Kelley and her husband, Ryan, met in 2016. Meeting online, the two talked for a while before getting together in person and discovering they had “this crazy chemistry.”
The couple tied the knot in October 2022 and decided to take a year for themselves before trying to start their family. Nine months after that, Christina discovered their dream was coming true.
“I had this super vivid dream that I was pregnant. That Monday, I took a pregnancy test and found out. I didn’t say anything yet because I wanted to kind of confirm it. The next day, I took another, more official test, which confirmed it,” she tells PEOPLE.

“I had to kind of make up colors to match colors of what he was wearing and stuff, so he thought I was actually painting him,” she laughed. “I had to make up details as I went along because he was being a perfectionist about mine.”
The couple finished up a couple of hours after getting started. Ryan admits that when they first revealed the paintings to one another, he was a bit confused.
