It all started when Kayla and her parents moved to Jupiter, Florida from New Jersey in 2018. At a church conference in Lake Worth, Gianni knew she was the one the second he saw her, though he waited a few weeks to talk to her. Despite not being close at first, Gianni invited her to a twenty one pilots concert, sparking many more dates and eventually leading to him asking her to be his girlfriend. Both Gianni and Kayla know the sequence of events that led them to each other is too perfect to be coincidence and are thankful to God.
Gianni and Kayla had just returned from a weekend family trip to New Jersey. Gianni originally planned to propose in New York City, but the right moment never came. He had the ring in his pocket the entire time, worried it would fall out or that Kayla would notice, but she had no clue. Upon returning, they had to drive across the state due to a commitment. Gianni kept rushing Kayla to get ready, even asking her to change out of her comfortable sweatpants. Initially stubborn, she eventually decided to wear something a bit less casual but still not too formal. On the way to the event, Gianni made a detour to a beautiful botanical garden. As they walked around, Kayla noticed how nervous and shaky Gianni was, which made her anxious as well. After strolling and taking pictures, they sat down on a decorated bench, and Gianni proposed. It was a perfect, intimate moment where they felt like the only two people in the world.
