Bryan and Kacie’s love story blossomed amidst the aisles of Lunds and Byerlys back in 2015. In those early days, Kacie had an enormous crush on Bryan, the charming dairy department guy. However, her shy nature kept her from confessing her feelings. Fast forward to 2018, and fate intervened as Kacie graduated from college, landing late shifts that brought her and Bryan together more often. A legendary prank war erupted between their departments, serving as the playful backdrop for their flirtatious dance. Yet, it took a clever plan from Kacie’s friends to call the store to nudge Bryan out of his shell one memorable night before Easter. Bryan, invited to join Kacie and her friends at a local bar after his shift, impressed everyone with his easygoing charm, effortlessly handling the bombardment of questions. Little did they know, this laid the foundation of something more. The turning point came two days before Bryan’s 26th birthday. Summoning courage, Kacie asked for Bryan’s number, inviting him for what was meant to be a simple birthday drink. Three hours of laughter and joy later, their connection deepened. Though feelings were mutual, Kacie found herself making the first move for the next three dates, while Bryan, in his apparent cluelessness, considered himself just a “friend.” Fortunately, Bryan’s realization came, and on September 7th, 2019, he officially asked Kacie to be his girlfriend. Navigating the challenges of a global pandemic, living with parents, and juggling two jobs, their love only strengthened. In the summer of 2021, Bryan embarked on the journey of buying a house, sealing the deal on August 26th. The remodeling process became a shared adventure, and on March 12th, 2022, Bryan and Kacie joyfully moved into their new home. As the anticipation for their 4-year anniversary grew, Kacie found herself yearning for a new chapter. Hints were dropped, ring pictures exchanged, and a visit to the jewelry store became an inevitable part of their journey. Then, on August 26th, 2023, the second anniversary of their home purchase, Bryan seized a moment during a morning walk. With the ring box tucked nervously in his pocket, he dropped to one knee, asking Kacie to spend a lifetime with him. Amidst tears of joy, Kacie said YES, and the couple eagerly started planning their future. What better day to exchange vows than on their 5-year dating anniversary, solidifying a love story that had its beginnings in a grocery store but had grown into a tale of shared dreams and enduring commitment. September 7th, 2024 can not come soon enough!
