we're getting married!

Kayce and Shane have known each other since high school, though back then their connection was nothing more than a few mutual friends. Unbeknownst to either of them, an unspoken crush quietly lingered through the years as life carried them in different directions. Families grew, Kayce stayed local but Shane moved to North Florida, and yet, somehow, the thought of one another never truly disappeared. Years later, with a little liquid courage and a lot of honesty, Kayce finally acknowledged the crush she’d carried for so long. To her surprise, Shane confessed he’d felt exactly the same way all those years. Despite the distance, they decided to take a chance on a first date — and quickly realized this was something rare. From the very beginning, the connection felt easy, exciting, and undeniably right. Though long distance wasn’t part of the original plan, they made it work by spending every moment they could together. Weekends were shared, doubts were faced head-on, and their growing bond soon included the most important people in their lives; their kids. Watching their families blend so naturally confirmed what they already knew: this was meant to be. Before long, long distance became no distance at all. Kayce and Shane bought a home together in DeLand, Florida, merging two beautiful families into one. Their home is full of love, laughter, and proof that sometimes the best love stories aren’t rushed - they’re simply worth the wait.
