Like so many modern love stories, Kyle and Brandi’s journey began with a swipe. After chatting for about a week, they had their first date—virtually—over Zoom. But it didn’t take long before they met in person. Just days before Thanksgiving 2021, they shared their first official date at The Creole in Old Town Lansing, followed by drinks at The Grid. That night sparked something special, and by spring, they were introducing each other to friends and family. Over their first year together, Kyle and Brandi’s relationship grew through shared experiences, adventures, and, most importantly, great food. From Detroit to Chicago, Cincinnati to Traverse City, they made a point to explore new places together. A love of travel and trying new restaurants quickly became their favorite shared hobby. After a year of dating, they took the next step—moving in together at Kyle’s home in Lansing, where they built a life with their two beloved dogs, Frank and Harley. On November 2, 2024, Kyle and Brandi took a trip to the MSU Gardens near Ann Arbor, Michigan. They spent the day exploring the beautiful trails, hiking through the forest, and strolling through the botanical gardens. Just as they were about to leave, Kyle found the perfect quiet spot, got down on one knee, and asked Brandi to spend forever with him. Now, their greatest adventure yet awaits—forever.
