It all started with a “pop-a-shot” game at a company Happy Hour. Kaylee dominated the arcade court, confidently taunting every opponent. With a boost of liquid courage, John Brian challenged the gorgeous girl from operations, only to be soundly defeated. Still, he was hooked. A date didn’t happen that night, but a mutual swipe soon took care of that. Fast forward six years, John Brian, ever the patient man, had finally chose his crowning moment. He proposed to Kaylee along the English Channel in August of 2024, nearly losing her ring to sea in the process. Over seven years of love they've navigated COVID, moving in together (twice), three years of cross border long distance, dozens of nicknames for Kaylee, new jobs, new cities and new countries.
