The Power of the Internet

Between "I'll give it one more try" and "I'd like to meet some people."

When Kyle moved to Fort Worth in July of 2014, he decided the internet was the best way to get to know people around the area. So he jumped onto eHarmony and met Katlin, who'd been on eHarmony a few years and had become well acquainted with disappointment through the platform. Only due to her friend's obvious joy and constant braggadocios did she decide that, maybe, there was still some chance of finding happiness through internet media. And she found Kyle. They emailed back and forth for a couple of weeks, exchanging epic length discourse and discovering their mutual love for all things hiking, camping, gardens and food. As Kyle would say later, "you had me at 'hiking!'" They had their first date on the banks of the Trinity River one sunny, slightly chilly October Saturday, traversing 15 miles of trail, chattering nonstop and eventually stopping so that Kyle could unload the backpacker's pack he'd casually hoisted through the entirety of their date. He brought forth a camp stove, skillet, salmon, asparagus, various spices and accoutrements, and a bottle of wine. Placing two Disney beach towels on the ground, Kyle set about cooking while Katlin tried valiantly to hide how badly her legs were cramping, not wanting to give away how long it had been since she'd traveled this amount of ground in one day. That first date ended with a kiss, and both will admit to cautiously thinking they might have found 'the one' afterwards. The rest is history and now, nearly four years later, they're finally tying the knot, and are so happy to have friends and family celebrate with them.

For all the days along the way
