Kayla and Enrico's love story began in late 2019, when fate brought them together through mutual friends—Leon, Enrico’s best man, and Marquisa, Kayla’s bridesmaid. Both were single, but neither was interested in just anyone. Kayla had been looking for something real, and Enrico, too, had been waiting for the right person to come into his life. Enrico asked Leon and Marquisa if they knew someone who might be a good match for him, and when they showed him Kayla’s picture, he felt an instant spark. There was something about her smile, it felt like God had been quietly guiding them toward each other all along. At the time, Kayla lived in Los Angeles, while Enrico called Austin, Texas, home. The miles between them didn’t matter, though. From the very beginning, they found themselves talking on the phone for hours, sometimes staying up all night, falling asleep together with the phone still pressed between them. Every conversation felt like a glimpse into a world they both wanted to explore together. Kayla made monthly trips to Austin, and with each visit, their connection grew stronger. When COVID hit, everything changed. But in a way, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Kayla had been planning to move back home to Chicago from Los Angeles, and Enrico, seeing the shift in circumstances, realized it would be the perfect time for him to make the move back home as well. In March 2020, they both packed up their lives and settled in Chicago, excited to be closer to family and to spend more time together. On March 30, 2024, after four amazing years together, Enrico, with a heart overflowing with love and anticipation, proposed to Kayla in a breathtaking celebration surrounded by 80 of their closest friends and family in Chicago. The evening was filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and delicious food, making the proposal not only beautiful but unforgettable—a perfect reflection of their love and the life they are building together.
