Kirby and Fred both moved to New York City after college, and in 2012, Fred booked a flight to New Orleans, and Kirby booked a last minute trip home to visit family. As fate would have it, they were seated next to one another on a nonstop Delta flight, and it didn't take long to realize they had a lot in common. While walking to baggage claim together, Fred asked for Kirby's phone number and a week later invited her out on a date. The rest is history!

Fred and Kirby now live in Houston with their beloved French Bulldog Duke. After almost 5 years together, Fred proposed in New Orleans over Easter weekend. As they walked around the corner in the French Quarter, they were also greeted by a surprise of many family and friends, who had flown in from New York, Houston and Dallas to add another touch to the special day. Rounding out the perfect New Orleans party, the group was met with a "second line" band that paraded them through the Quarter to brunch in Antoine's Rex Room, and continued the celebrations all day!
