We met in Chicago, where we were both doing missionary work for our church. We spent some time around each other and became good friends. Three years later, we reconnected at BYU and began dating.
On New Year's Day, we went to Golden Gate Park to go to the botanical gardens. We were walking from the gardens over to the beach when we stopped in a quiet and private area. Kyle told me how much he loved me and asked me to marry him. It was simple and perfect.
