Alicia and Kyle met the modern way- on Hinge- in June of 2024. Not long after matching, Kyle asked Alicia to meet him for drinks at Ozona. What was meant to be a quick Sunday night date turned into hours of laughter and conversation, ending only when they realized they had closed down the restaurant. That magical first night set the tone for the rest of their summer. Over the next few months, Alicia and Kyle met each other’s friends and families, quickly realizing that what they had was something truly special. As summer faded into fall, their weekends were filled with OU football games and memorable trips to Norman. Their first real challenge came when Kyle moved from Dallas to Lubbock in the fall. But rather than creating distance, the move gave them a new opportunity to grow closer and deepen their connection. With many road trips between Dallas, Norman, Lubbock, and even a quick getaway to Las Vegas, the end of 2024 was filled with adventure, laughter, and love. In early 2025, a trip to Newport Beach brought another milestone- Kyle met Alicia’s entire family and was an instant hit. As spring rolled on, Alicia and Kyle continued their long-distance rhythm between Lubbock and Dallas. But in April, came the biggest surprise yet. Just days before a trip to Mexico, Kyle proposed- completely catching Alicia off guard in the most wonderful way. Their vacation turned into a celebration of their engagement, soaking in the joy and excitement of this new chapter. Now, Alicia and Kyle are thrilled to be planning their wedding and building a future together as husband and wife. They are so grateful for the love and support of their family and friends, and can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
