How They Met

7/12/13

As some of you may know, Kayla's first job was at Shores Inn. Little did she know that Shores Inn would lead her to the man that she would marry. It was Kayla's half birthday (yes, half birthdays matter) and as soon as Joe walked around the bar she just knew she had to talk to him. Unfortunately, Joe was not seated in Kayla's section. But knowing the spunky 19 1/2 year old that Kayla was, she went to the server who's section it was and bribed him to take Joe's table. It worked!! She waited on Joe and Bernard and tried not to embarrass herself. When it was time to cash out, Joe left his number on the receipt (thanks for pushing him Bernard) and the rest is history! They started texting and hanging out the next week. 2 months later they started dating. They still go to Shores Inn from time to time to reminisce and Shores Inn will always have a place in their hearts. Go to the photos tab to see the receipt that Kayla kept after all this time!!

How He Proposed

8/29/18

After 5 years together, Joe decided it was time to propose. If you know Kayla she doesn't do surprises very well and after 5 years together, it was difficult for Joe to hide anything from her. One day while Kayla was at work, she saw a credit card charge that didn't look familiar. When she brought it up to Joe, he wouldn't give her a straight answer. So, what did Kayla do? She logged into his email, of course, and instantly regretted it. She saw the order for the ring. Trying not to panic because their anniversary was coming up, she remained calm(ish). Fast forward a few weeks and they were making the trek to Alaska to attend Frankie and Cassie's wedding. They went a week early to enjoy some time hiking and exploring the city. One of those days, they took a trip to Flattop Mountain. After an exhausting hike to the top (ask Joe why), he popped the question and Kayla said yes of course! That definitely was the cherry on top of an already memorable trip.

For all the days along the way
