Baylah Arehart says yes to Kelly Penquite’s marriage proposal, and they manage a hug even though Arehart’s hands are full with her brand new Wilmington College degree and a bouquet of flowers, and Penquite still has the engagement ring and box in hand.
If tear stains end up on Baylah Arehart’s degree from Wilmington College, center in cap and gown, they will be from tears of joy following a marriage proposal from Kelly Penquite on campus Saturday after commencement. In the right background is father Billy Arehart.
