We’re getting married!

After spending their childhoods in parallel worlds—occasionally crossing paths but never truly connecting—Lane and Kylie’s love story finally ignited, thanks to the determined matchmaking efforts of Kylie’s sister, Kyrie, who also happened to be Lane’s neighbor. Kyrie orchestrated a series of bonfires and spaghetti dinners, each one a carefully disguised attempt to bring them together. Looking back, it’s clear those gatherings weren’t just casual get-togethers—they were Kyrie’s master plan to spark a connection. And it didn’t take long for everyone to see what was undeniable: Lane and Kylie were destined to be each other’s person.

After more than six months of meticulous planning, Lane was ready to make his move. He invited Kylie to his family’s farm for a seemingly simple pond-side picnic, but beneath the surface, a carefully orchestrated plan was unfolding. With Kyrie stationed in the woods and Chris tucked away in the barn, both armed with cameras, the stage was set for the big moment. The two sat in the heat of a 90° day, enjoying strawberries, finger sandwiches, and chilled blueberry moscato. Despite the sweltering sun, Lane could feel the tension mounting. He suddenly stood, claiming he needed a moment, and pulled out a disposable camera the couple had been casually carrying around. He snapped a picture of Kylie, then handed her the camera, asking her to take a shot of the scenery behind her. As Kylie turned away, absorbed in the view, Lane dropped to one knee, ring in hand, heart racing. When she turned back and saw him, her gasp filled the air just before she leaped into his arms, tackling him in pure joy. Meanwhile, Chris and Kyrie, hidden just out of sight, captured the entire moment—photographs and videos preserving a memory that would last forever. But the surprises didn’t stop there. Chris and Kyrie suggested the couple move to a new location to take more photos, all while Lane’s heart was still racing. Little did Kylie know, Lane had enlisted the help of his mom, brother, and Kylie’s sisters to plan a surprise engagement party. Mandy had secretly arranged for a dinner, decadent desserts, and thoughtful party favors—all set up in anticipation of the big reveal. The grandest surprise of all came when Lane arranged for Kylie’s best friend, Alyssa, to drive in from out of state. As soon as Kylie laid eyes on her, tears sprang to her eyes. The overwhelming joy of having her closest friend there to celebrate this milestone made the moment even more special. It was yet another surprise Lane had pulled off without a hitch. Surrounded by family and friends, the evening was filled with laughter, tears, and the warm glow of celebration as they toasted to the newly engaged couple. It was a perfect night—one that would be etched in their hearts forever.
