It all started with a simple nudge: “You should hit her up.” Chris’ brother, Brett, knew Kayla through mutual connections and had a feeling the two would be something special—and he couldn’t have been more right. Their story started when they met at a comedy show. What began as a casual night out quickly turned into something more—constant smiles, a natural connection and an instant spark that kept them thinking about each other from then on. Not long after, they went on their first date on a warm July evening in downtown Frederick. Between good food, drinks, and laughter at Hooch & Banter, a few competitive rounds of darts, and effortless conversation, something truly special began to take shape. From there, their love grew in the most natural and beautiful way—through fly fishing trips, unforgettable adventures in Colorado, countless concerts, and quiet nights at home filled with cooking, games, and laughter. Alongside their three sweet pets, they’ve created a life full of love, joy, and a deep sense of home. Now, they’re so excited to begin their next chapter together in a place that already feels like home—Allenberry Resort.
