Kaleigh and Stuart met playing volleyball with their friends at Jackson Marrow park in Kokomo, IN. After being friends a few years, Stuart asked Kaleigh out on a date. They went to Three Amigos for dinner and then went bowling with a group of friends. The date went well and Kaleigh decided to keep him around. Since then, they have spent time together and fallen even more in love every day.

Kaleigh and Stuart traveled to Louisville for a North Carolina basketball game on February 17th. They left the hotel that morning to get breakfast (which didn’t turn out as planned). After walking what felt like miles in heels, going to three different restaurants before finding a place to eat, and getting splashed by a car going through a puddle, Kaleigh was ready to give up on the day. When they finally returned to the hotel, Kaleigh walked in to rose petals in the shape of a heart with some chocolate covered strawberries. She excitedly turned around to see Stuart down on one knee with a ring in his hand! It quickly turned the day around, into one of the best days of her life.
