Kaycie and Rory met in the later half of 2023 when, like the best modern love stories, they both happened to “swipe right.” Their first date was at a local brewery for pizza and craft beer, thankfully Kaycie decided against cancelling after a long day at work and Rory waited patiently for her arrival. The night turned from pizza and beer to frozen yogurt to a ruthless game night where Kaycie showed her clear supremacy at Mancala and Bananagrams. Many dates soon followed from trips to try new breweries, Rory learning all about Kaycie’s many plants, Kaycie slowly but surely becoming a pet person, and many more game nights. Love blossomed at every step eventually culminating in a proposal that harkened back to where it all began. Rory spelled out the phrase “Forever and Then Some, Marry Me” in Bananagrams letters, so excited he even forgot to ask “Will you Marry Me?” aloud. One “yes” later and they’re ready to celebrate with all of their favorite people!
