A chance re-meeting at a friends birthday party (#thanksSammyBraschforbeingborn) led to all night conversations and a movie-esque rain-soaked make out session... and nothing more. But what could have been a story Ilana told to her friends (remember Kevin Railsback? We made out in the rain, weird huh?) turned into Kevin asking for a formal date the very next day (non-of this hokey "3 day rule" BS). One date later they were both convinced there was at least enough there to dump the people they were previously dating (bye-bye hangers-on) and keep it exclusive, but Kevin very quickly hatched a plan to win Ilana over and eventually lock down the most beautiful and wonderful woman he had ever met. A mixture of staying up way too late talking, singing high school throwbacks (Saves the Day, Pinback, Weezer featuring heavily), and spending what others might consider entirely too much time together, led Ilana to fall hopelessly head over heels for Kevin... and Kevin was already there having completely upended himself in love weeks before. Two and half years later, including both good times to remember and tough times for both to support each other through, Kevin finally asked the question he had been thinking of for quite some time... and to the surprise of the Universe, his tricks and schemes had worked to convince the beautiful and wonderful Ilana to give him a shot at together forever... and that's exactly what they intend to do. -Written by Kevin (obvi)
