Kyle and Brianna met in 2013 at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee through mutual friends. They bonded over quickly over their love of bar trivia, tv show Bob's Burgers, playing darts and pool at a local bar, and eating Topperstix while watching funny Youtube videos. While Brianna was in Denver for graduate school, they still talked to each other almost every day and would watch movies together virtually. They fell in love over the years, and Kyle moved to Milwaukee so they could make their relationship official. They knew right away that they wanted to be together forever! On January 23rd 2020, Kyle proposed to Brianna in their apartment after they had gotten home from a trip to Florida visiting his parents. He tied a sweet note to their cat, Jinx (it makes sense with Brianna being such a cat person), and set the scene with a nice dinner, champagne, and jazz music. She said yes with no hesitation, and they can't wait to spend the rest of their lives together!
Brianna grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin with her two sisters, Caitlin and Lindsay. In high school, she played the violin and sang in the choir, and competed in dance and soccer. She attended UW-Milwaukee where she majored in Psychology, had many on-campus jobs, and was part of the equestrian team. She then moved to Denver, Colorado to get her masters degree in higher education. While there, she loved rock climbing and snowboarding in the Rocky Mountains. Nowadays, she loves living on Milwaukee's east side. She enjoys yoga, reading, crafting, drinking white wine, playing board games, and spending quality time with Kyle and Jinx. Kyle has been teaching her how to cook and how to play his favorite game, Magic the Gathering!
Kyle was born in Cambridge, England and moved around to many places as a child including Saudi Arabia and North Carolina before his family settled down in Minnesota. He grew up with a love of hockey and baseball, and met his best friends while playing as a goalie and catcher, respectively. He attended UW-Milwaukee for college, and pursued his love of reading through an English degree. Kyle still reads consistently and has a goal of finishing at least one book per month. He spends his time playing Magic the Gathering, cooking and baking any recipes he can find, and working on his newest hobby of cross stitching. Kyle and Brianna have been both out on the golf course recently, enjoying their time outside together.
