Drew & Kiley met at the University of South Carolina in 2012. They were different years, took different classes, had different groups of friends but their paths crossed by chance at the pool in the gym one night. They didn’t think much of it at the time. Over the next few months, they saw each other every now and then at the gym, saying hi in passing. They’d flirt a bit, but both saw other people throughout the semester. Drew drove Kiley home one night and they became friends. Fast forward to May, when Drew finally asked for Kiley’s number on the last day of exams before summer break. They talked every day during the summer, and met up at the beach for their first date in July 2012! By the time Drew graduated in 2013, they knew they would have to work to maintain a long distance relationship from PA to SC. Years later, after countless flights, long drives, and a lot of time apart, they now are happily living in Pennsylvania. They could not be more excited to celebrate the next step in their journey with each of you, who have played (and will continue to play) such an important part in their adventure!

Drew & Kiley were in the Outer Banks and had been climbing different OBX lighthouses the past few years. Bodie, Hatteras, and now Currituck was the next on the list. They drove to Currituck with Drew's brother Zach and his wife Alyssa first thing when the lighthouse opened up in the morning (very unlike Drew since he likes to sleep in on vacation). Once they got to the top of the lighthouse, Drew asked Zach to get a picture of him and Kiley. While Kiley's back was turned, Alyssa sneakily passed the ring to Drew. Once Kiley turned around to see what was going on, Drew was down on one knee!
