Chris and Kayla met during a night out at Stoney's with friends. Kayla was out with her friend Sam (Matron of Honor) and Chris was there with his friends (groomsmen) Marc and Rob. Chris and Sam had been friends since high school and happen to run into each other at the bar that night. Chris immediately noticed Kayla and although they didn't cross paths that night, Chris texted Sam later to ask who her gorgeous friend was. Fast forward a week later Kayla is back at Stoney's with Sam and Laurie (Matron of Honor). Sam texts Chris and tells him to come, but Chris can't convince any of his friends to go with him. He finally convinces his roommate Bobby (Officiant) to go, and Chris and Kayla immediately hit it off. They had their first date about a week later...

Chris and Kayla had plans to go out on a double date with their friends Brian and Emily. They made plans to meet at Brian and Emily's house. At the time, Chris and Kayla's new home was being built so on the way, Chris suggested they stop to check on the construction. When they were around the corner Chris pulled off to the side of the road and made Kayla put on a blind fold (ski goggles with tape on the lenses). He started playing music in the car and began driving. About 30 seconds later Chris stopped in front of their house (Kayla was still blindfolded) and he made her sit there not knowing what was going on for another minute or so. When the song in the car ended he had Kayla remove her blindfold and she was surprised to see the windows blacked out. Chris handed Kayla his phone, told her to watch a video he had made and asked her to get out of the car when it was over. Chris got out and ran off to who knows where. As the video began to play, Kayla finally began to realize what was happening. Once the video ended Kayla got out of the car and was blown away to see both of their parents and ~20 of their closest friends and family standing in front of the house. As she got out of the car and walked towards the house, the song “Marry You” by Bruno Mars began playing. Kayla later learned Chris had secretly been planning the proposal for over a month, and had even arranged to have 6 people come in from out of town just for this occasion. As Kayla walked towards the house she noticed it was similar to the proposal scene in the show "The Office" (their favorite show). Just like in the show, Kayla walked down an aisle of their friends and family and when she got to the end of the line Chris was waiting for her in the garage which was decorated with candles, lights and rose pedals. He got down on one knee and the rest is a complete blur.... To see our proposal video copy and paste this link into your browser > https://youtu.be/orGkl8CxX7Y
