They were introduced through a mutual friend at a BBQ. Although neither one of them had planned on attending, their plans had changed and obviously it was God's plan that they meet. It was a few weeks after that BBQ that they had their first date (and it was by far the best first date for both of them). They spent the day picking raspberries, talking, laughing, and later, a car show (which scored major points with Kenny). From that moment on, they've enjoyed making new memories.

Despite everyone knowing ahead of time that Kenny was going to propose, Darleen did not. They decided to celebrate their 3rd anniversary just the two of them. She made reservations at Pierside Restaurant, which is where they went on their first dinner date, for a spot that overlooked the pier. After dinner, Kenny started to get down on one knee and he proposed and she obviously said yes! The whole restaurant cheered and moments later, the 4th of July firework show began to shoot off their fireworks. It was truly a memorable night!
