We met in Physical Therapy school at NYIT. Day one, Ilyse, strategically placing herself in the row behind Kyle, struck up a conversation that, for three years of school, did not end. We formed a deep friendship over a mutual love of sports, competition, and enjoyment of music. Neither one of us could have predicted that this friendship would slowly, but surely turn into something more lasting. April 18, 2019 was the date Kyle dropped down on one knee and asked the most important question in his life (while in the background Ilyse's favorite love song played), "Ilyse, will you marry me?" To which Ilyse gave the easiest answer of her life, "Yes, of course!" We couldn't be more excited to spend the rest of our lives enjoying one another's company during countless concerts, sporting events, and whatever else the future may hold.
