After triple messaging Kayla (with the third message being “I’ve never seen anyone make a faith-filled life look so good!!), Bryan caught her attention and she messaged back. After making homemade pasta on their second date, they have been inseparable. Their relationship quickly deepened as they shared more meals, laughs, discussions about faith, and dances in the kitchen; Bryan and Kayla then decided in April to officially book their wedding venue for the following August even though they weren’t even engaged yet! While on a trip in Asheville, they found the perfect ring; Bryan proposed Friday, August 13, 2021 after a short early morning hike to the top of the Clear Fork Valley Trail meadow.
