How We Met

7.4.15 | First comes carrots, then comes Vegas!

Kate was going on a trip with Bekah to the lake with a new group of friends. Kate went over to meet Bekah at Kyle's house for dinner prior to meeting up with the group. Dinner was Shabu Shabu and Kyle kept giving Kate his carrots, even though he loved them too. There was an instant connection, but the timing the wasn't right. About a month later, Kate went to Vegas for the 4th of July with Bekah just for fun. Kyle happened to be there with his family. They met again and this time, there were fireworks! Another month later, Kyle asked Kate to be his person, and 4 years later...he put a ring on it!

The Proposal

10.6.19 | The Magic of New Orleans!

Kate and Kyle went on a trip to New Orleans for a friend's birthday party. On Sunday, they went to the Saints game at the Superdome, and then went to a bar to watch more football. Because Sundays are for football. The group left the bar and went to explore the city. They ended up at the Jazz National Historic Park and were crossing over a bridge at sunset. Kyle asked to take a picture, but first he needed to put his backpack down. As Kate was wondering what was taking so long, Kyle turned around, got down on one knee, opened the box, and the ring popped out! It ALMOST fell through a crack in the bridge and into the water. Luckily, the ring jumped over the crack and Kyle was able to grab it. Then he asked the question Kate had been waiting for, "Will you marry me?" After a short period of shock, Kate said "Of course!" Kyle had accomplished his goal, to ask when she least expected it. And now they get to call each other "mine" forever.
