We met during a contentious game of Werewolf at the ReplayFX gaming convention in downtown Pittsburgh, 2017. Neither of us won, but our meeting was still memorable. A few weeks later, we ran into each other at a mutual friend's party. Our mutual love for gaming, Anberlin, and dank memes kindled a strong friendship, and our two friend groups began to merge together. Soon, that friendship turned into feelings, and we started dating about 6 months afterwards!
In 2022, we took a group vacation to Cancun with many of our closest friends, and Josh knew as soon as the tickets were booked that it would be the perfect opportunity to pop the question. After a private dinner at the resort, we took a walk along the beach together, where Josh proposed. It was so dark that Kyla could barely see the ring! (Luckily, she liked it!) We went back to the resort and celebrated all night at the Skybar with all of our friends!
