Kailyn and I first met through mutual friends in the summer of 2019. Neither of us expected our connection to turn into something so meaningful, but after just a few months of getting to know each other, our bond began to grow in ways we never imagined. As we started living together, our love deepened—fueled by time spent with family and friends, spontaneous motorcycle rides into the middle of nowhere, and countless evenings at Combustion, surrounded by good company and laughter. Every moment brought us closer, strengthening the connection we share. On Christmas Day 2023, I asked Kailyn to be my wife—so we could continue building this beautiful life together in the next chapter of our journey.
