Kayla and Andy met where most classic romances do, a college fraternity party at Kansas State University. The two had an instant connection after realizing they shared the same birthday, May 12th, 1993. After an evening spent laughing, playing games, and telling stories, Andy, a true gentleman, walked Kayla back to her sorority house. A week later, coincidentally on Valentine’s Day, Kayla and Andy had their first date at Little Apple Brewery. They spent the next six and a half years bonding over sports, outdoor adventures, and the occasional beer. It wasn’t always easy with the two engaged in a long distance relationship for much of that time, but they managed to call each other every night to listen, laugh, encourage, and support each other along the way. Andy finally proposed to Kayla in the backyard of her cousin's farmhouse in LeMars, Iowa. After all this time they have found that they love each other more and more, and they can’t wait to celebrate their love and devotion to each other this coming July.
