Shit is about to get real!

Kyle and I met on May 11, 2024. Our first date? A total disaster… that somehow turned into the best thing ever. The plan was simple: go to a concert (Amy’s first love language). But just as I was two minutes away from meeting him, Kyle texted me that he had—get this—accidentally sold one of the tickets. Who even does that? Naturally, I assumed this was his polite way of ghosting me and immediately turned the car around. Cue Kyle sending me an Oscar-worthy apology. Halfway home, I caved and asked if he wanted dinner instead—because if nothing else, I wasn’t about to waste my makeup. He agreed. I turned back around, pulled up, and thought: He drives a Civic? Really? And then he got out of the car… wearing Adidas. To a country concert. I told myself, “Fine. At least dinner’s free.” Dinner was awkward. He barely talked, I thought he was bored out of his mind, and I mentally drafted my “Well, that was fun, good luck with your Civic” goodbye. But then he shocked me—he said he didn’t want the night to end. We ended up at a bar playing pool, and that’s when Kyle pulled the cheesiest move in the book: “Loser has to kiss the winner.” Of course, I lost (allegedly), and when I kissed him, fireworks went off. I thought, I never want to stop kissing this man. And I haven’t. Fast forward: I convinced Mr. “Never Gonna Get Married” to… well, marry me. Turns out the Civic-driving, Adidas-to-a-concert guy is the love of my life. Every day he shows me what respect, partnership, and true love look like. The universe clearly had a plan, keeping us living and working just a mile apart until the timing was right. Now, I can’t wait to spend forever with him—laughing at his mishaps, stealing his fries, and proving that even the worst first dates can turn into the best love stories.
