Kyle and Draya’s story started way back in middle school at youth group, where Kyle insists his crush first began. They led VBS groups together, stayed good friends, and somehow managed to never date in high school. Fast forward to 2020: Draya was working an internship in market research and recruiting, calling recent graduates for interviews—one of them being Kyle. The call was professional (and unusually non-flirty, according to Draya), but before hanging up, Kyle asked if they could find time to talk again just to catch up. That week turned into late-night calls and nonstop texts, and soon Kyle drove back from Central for their first official date—cruising around and getting milkshakes at The Merc. After a few more dates (and Kyle sealing the deal by playing a song on his guitar), he asked Draya to be his girlfriend. Nearly five years later, after countless concerts, football games, home-cooked dinners, and memories made side by side, Kyle started planning a surprise proposal. Successfully throwing Draya off the scent, he led her to the viewpoint at Suncadia Lodge, got down on one knee, and asked the most Kyle question possible: “Do you wanna get married?” (She said yes.) And just like that, their forever started💍✨
