Kaylan and Ian met in 2010 on the Legally Blonde Tour. They became close friends but their road would eventually split. The tour closed a few months later and Kaylan moved to Omaha to finish Beauty School and Ian would be back out on the road, this time with Rock of Ages. The two managed to remain in contact despite not ever seeing each other. In March of 2014, Ian was touring through Omaha with Sister Act the Musical. Kaylan was in Omaha on a week off from the Evita tour. After seeing Sister Act Kaylan, Ian, and some other friends, caught up over cocktails. Ian, a few weeks prior, was offered the Head of Sound position on the 1st National Tour of Disney's Newsies which was to launch in that fall. At the time, management was still identifying who else would be traveling with the tour, so Ian was asked to not talk with anyone else about the job. During cocktails, Ian quietly whispered to Kaylan, "I got offered a job, but it's a secret and I'm not supposed to tell anyone about it." Kaylan than quietly responded, "I also was offered a job but it's a secret and I'm not supposed to tell anyone about it." It was only fate that the two we're bound to be on the same tour. Kaylan insists it was at that moment, that she knew they we're destined to be married one day. Fast forward a year a half, it's the end of year 1 of Newsies. The show is in Boston and Ian says to Kaylan, "We haven't hung out in a while, just the two of us, let's have a date after the show tomorrow." Kaylan agreed, but never put together it was a real date. After an evening that started with a visit to a dessert restaurant and ended with martini's at a rooftop bar, Kaylan then understood. That tour ended, Kaylan moved to NYC and Ian joined the Aladdin Tour. Despite the distance the two fell more in love and on June 17, 2018 Ian snuck into Kaylan's apartment and got down on a knee after she got home from work and asked her to make him the happiest man ever.
