Kyle and I first met in 2004 after my family moved from Massachusetts to Arizona. We dated off and on throughout 8th grade and high school until life took us in different directions after graduation. I attended Northern Arizona University while Kyle enlisted into the Air Force. Although we weren't physically together, we were always a part of each other's lives. Fast forward to New Year's Eve 2022 when Kyle and I took an impromptu trip to Disneyland (as friends). Although this was the first time we had spent any significant amount of time together since 2009 (other than a few hours here and there), being back together felt like no time had passed at all. During our trip, we rekindled the flame that we started all those years ago back in middle school. Although the timing had never been right in the past, neither of us wanted to pass up the opportunity to see what could be, so we decided to see where a relationship would take us. When we got home from our trip, Kyle met Ashlynn and Nicholas in person for the first time and they all instantly fell in love with each other. On May 13, 2023, after asking the kids for permission, Kyle proposed at the park where we had our first kiss back in middle school. I, of course, said yes, and we have been planning our dream wedding ever since! We can't wait to start the next chapter of our story with you on May 24, 2025 when we will be married in the place where it all restarted!
