At the beginning of their Junior Year at Rutgers University, Connor and Kyra met through a mutual friend. Thinking Connor was one of the cutest guys ever, Kyra asked her friend to send him her phone number the next day. Connor later asked Kyra if she wanted to get together for pizza (a Rutgers staple)! Their casual pizza date turned into a 3 hour endeavor where they talked about each others life plans, favorite foods and everything in between. The next day he asked Kyra to go to one of the local bars named Kelly's where they spent the night singing some of our favorite songs and eating burgers. The rest was truly history!
When Connor and Kyra were both back in New Jersey visiting family during the holidays, they took a visit to their old stomping grounds. While visiting Rutgers, they stopped by their favorite ice cream place, Thomas Sweet. While enjoying their scoops, Connor went down on one knee and asked Kyra to spend the rest of her life with him. She of course said, “YES!!” ❤️
