We're getting married!

"You had me at mountain weekend ;) " I moved to Charlotte in typical fashion - boxes, coffee, and swiping through Bumble like anyone trying to find their person in a new city. One night, I came across a profile that stood out - not just because of the long list of hobbies, but because his words felt thoughtful, intentional...familiar. There were so many things I could relate to, and I could tell right away he had a real sense of adventure about him. He just seemed fun -- someone I wanted to know. I smiled and messaged him, "You had me at mountain weekend". We chatted and then Kevin asked me where I wanted to go for our first date. I said I wanted to go dancing. So he took me to Coyote Joe's - a honkytonk in Charlotte - for two stepping and a Cole Swindell concert. I rode the mechanical bull (yes, there's video) and we were so caught up in eachother that at one point, we didn't even realize our drinks were cleared from in front of us. The next day I told my girl friends, "That was the best first date of my life". And I truly meant it. Our third date (ish)? He came home with me for Thanksgiving. Our fourth date (ish)? We hopped on a plane and went to Costa Rica together. It might sound crazy, but it all made perfect sense. From the very beginning, being with Kevin felt right. Safe. Natural. I knew pretty early on: he was it. Since then, we shared concert nights and mountain drives, quite coffee mornings, and evenings curled up watching the most wonderfully trashy TV. We've spend 2 1/2 years of love, laughter, growth and little moments that have become everything. And now, I get to marry him. I can't wait to spend forever with you, Kevin.
