We met in 2017 while working at Harris and we quickly became friends! Over the next eight months, we spent a lot of time together in and out of work. Kyle introduced Deirdre to the world of rock climbing and her competitive side came out. Kyle and his friends, Javier & Richard were planning an outside climbing trip to Puerto Rico in April and Deirdre was determined to tag along!

Remember that rock climbing trip to Puerto Rico?? Kyle asked Deirdre on their first date under the stars while camping at one of the rock climbing locations. He took her to a BBQ restaurant and finished out the night watching Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope.

In January of 2021, we drove down to Key West, FL with Kyle's sister and brother-in-law. The original plan was to take a day trip to Dry Tortugas National Park and propose to Deirdre there. After waking up at 6 am to catch the only boat to the park, we were told the engine had blown up the night before!! Frantically everyone (except Deirdre who gets seasick) scrambled to find an alternate plan. We ended up chartering a sailboat for a sunset cruise, and while the sun was going down Kyle proposed and dolphins surrounded the boat. Deirdre said "Yes"! We are excited to celebrate with you as we begin the next chapter of our lives together as husband and wife! ❤️
