Our journey began with a fateful first date—there were only two seats left in the theater, and we just happened to snag them! From that moment, we were inseparable. Over the next few years, we survived the challenge of long-distance and the craziness of COVID. Despite the miles, we found joy in the little things like ice cream dates, hiking with our dogs, and cozy movie nights. No matter what life threw our way, we’ve always found ourselves laughing together—whether it's over something silly or just the sheer joy of being in each other's company. As life moved on, we each stepped into our careers, but we never lost sight of what mattered most—each other. After some time, we decided to move in together and get our long-eared furry friend, Hazel. The proposal came on a cold, muddy day when Kylie wasn’t exactly in the mood for a walk, but Justin insisted. As they walked, Kylie complained the whole way down about the cold and muddy trail. She was totally oblivious to what was in store, but Justin remained determined. Finally, he stopped under a tree, telling her there was a basset hound behind her. Of course, Kylie turned around to look, and when she turned back, she found Justin getting on one knee, asking the big question. From that moment, we have been excited to begin this next chapter together.
