Kyle and Dominique both attended Westmont for college at the same time, lived in the same dorm, and even ran in neighboring circles (Kyle on the basketball team and Dominique on the cheer team) - yet, they didn't meet until eight years after graduation. Kyle’s former basketball teammate and Dominique’s close friend and roommate, Ari, encouraged Kyle to slide into Dominique's Instagram DMs (classic millennials). A year later, when Kyle was visiting California, they went on their first date—exactly one month before Dominique was planning to move New York City. Despite the busy timing, they both knew they had found something worth pursuing. Their second date was in Denver, Colorado, and their third in Franklin, Tennessee. From there began a two-year long-distance adventure filled with hours spent on FaceTime calls and monthly flights to see each other in New York, Denver, or somewhere fun in between. Over those two years, they took a combined 86 flights (Kyle has the slight lead) and made memories all over the country, with highlights including Philly, South Dakota, Key West, Cape Cod, and Vermont (a favorite of the couple!). In September 2025, Kyle helped Dominique (and Milo!) move to Denver where they've experienced the joy of living a 4 minute drive apart vs 4 a four hour plane ride. Kyle proposed to Dominique on March 7, 2026 and they spent the entire weekend celebrating with friends and family! Because so much of their relationship was built on meeting in the middle, Franklin felt like the perfect place to celebrate—a reflection of the adventure that brought them here. More than anything, Kyle and Dominique are deeply grateful for the way God has guided their story—from the timing of their meeting, through the challenges of long distance, to now beginning their life together. They feel incredibly blessed by the family and friends who have supported them along the way and cannot wait to celebrate with all of you.
