Kyler & Mizeya first met at the local dog park where they often took their dogs, Yuna & Faygo, to play and socialize. Both were living at the same apartment complex nearby the park, although neither new this at the time, and had only shared a few words in passing while their pups played. Little did they know, however, that this would be the beginning of a heartwarming story that you only read about in a book or see in a Hollywood film. One evening while Kyler was away, Yuna managed to escape from her cage, push open the sliding door to his apartment, and sneak off into the night. Returning home to find her gone, Kyler grabbed her leash, treats, and favorite ball, and set out hoping to lure her back. Meanwhile, Mizeya was on her way home from a night shift when she spotted Kyler walking down the sidewalk with Yuna's things in hand. Much to his surprise, she stopped to ask if Yuna had gotten out to which he replied with a helpless, "Yeah...". Without hesitation, Mizeya offered to help look for her, parked her car, and joined Kyler in his search. As they walked through the complex and nearby neighborhood chatting while they searched, a connection started to spark between them. After hours of searching, they failed to find Yuna, but Mizeya gave Kyler her number and promised to help him look again the next day. Thankfully, Yuna had been found by a stranger and taken to a local shelter where Kyler was able to pick her up. Yuna's escape may have caused Kyler quite a bit of stress, but she was essentially their matchmaker :). From then on, Kyler and Mizeya started planning meetups at the dog park park and weekend hikes with the dogs, finding more comfort and commonalities with each interaction they had. With the help of their family and friends, they soon started to realize how compatible they were and how well they complemented each other. In fact, Kyler distinctly remembers a conversation he had with his sister, Molly, who told him that if he didn't end up marrying Mizeya, she would freaking kill him" Three years later, Kyler and Mizeya found themselves supporting each other through career changes, embarking on out-of-state adventures for new vehicles, going to music festivals with friends, and celebrating each other's accomplishments. Thanks to Kyler’s brief time in real estate, they were also able to buy their first home together where they added two playful cats, Kashi and Guy, to their family as they began a whole new chapter in life. All was well in their life. They were committed and had a future all planned out together, but there was one final piece to add… On November 4th, 2023, Kyler took Mizeya back to the dog park where it all began. Surrounded by their loved ones and their two furry companions who helped bring them together, he got down on one knee and asked her to spend forever with him. (SPOILER ALERT!) She said YES!
