Our love story began one summer night in 2016, at our mutual friend’s backyard party. We both had young dogs, which Kyle attributes to being his big icebreaker. After that night, our first date was at a secret spot on a lake that Kyle had picked out. We had a picnic and let our dogs, Ryder and Leo, run and play along the shore as the sun set over the lake. We always say it was such a blessing our dogs loved each other from the start, because the truth is so did we. We balance each other out as a couple so well and it’s been rewarding watching our relationship blossom over the years. Kyle is able to bring out Lanie’s silly, spontaneous side and shows love through his kind-hearted, calming demeanor. Lanie is Kyle’s "spark.” Her unconditional love and unwavering support inspire him to keep his eyes on the horizon. We've continued to choose each other through the hurdles and through the highs. We both feel so blessed to have have a partner who encourages us to be the very best version of ourselves. We are over the moon excited to be able to continue this journey of ours for the rest of our lives. We know that we are so fortunate to have found a fulfilling, loving relationship - and more - in each other. We invite you all to join us in beautiful Costa Rica to celebrate the beginning of our new life together!
