We met at the request of a mutual friend, mainly to carpool. Kyle at this time was in need of hitching a ride as he was carless. Tessa agreed to this on one condition, that Kyle buy her Starbucks. He got Tessa's order and patiently waited to be picked up. She arrived and Kyle got in with their coffees, handing her the beverage she requested. Little did he know, he ordered the wrong drink... She shamelessly repirmanded him for "screwing up the order" and hasn't let it go since. Obviously, this is not your mother's fairytale beginning, however, a lifelong friendship had begun with the bonding of Disney music on the drive. The months turned into years, with all of their friends knowing what they apparently didn't.... But more on that later

Kyle surprised Tessa with a Catalina Island Getaway and explained it was a belated anniversary to celebrate when they started dating. Tessa had only heard of this amazing island yet had never been whereas Kyle had vacationed here before and knew the ropes. After checking into a hilltop bed and breakfast and exploring the island together Kyle ordered room service for their lunch along with some champagne. Unbeknownst to Tessa Kyle had set up his new camera on the balcony to video this secret proposal. After much coaxing to get Tessa onto the balcony as she was tired and just wanted to nap (her favorite pastime), Tessa joined Kyle on the balcony. Kyle let her know they weren't truly here for their anniversary and it was really to ask her to marry him. As he got down on one knee and opened the box he had hidden all day in his pocket, Tessa gasped and exclaimed how pretty the ring was. Her response to his proposal, however, was odd "You're such an asshole, you tricked me!" And the rest, as they say, is history
