Our Story

In 2020, amidst the chaos of the pandemic, Michelle returned to Houston from New York. What was meant to be a short visit turned into an extended stay, leading her to explore Houston's bachelor scene on Hinge. That's where she met Kyle, a family man and former athlete. Despite a questionable gym photo, Michelle swiped right, and Kyle did the same, sparking their relationship. Their chemistry was instant, and they quickly discovered how much they had in common. With most places closed, they got creative with their dates, from playing laundry basketball to exploring Houston for photo spots. By December 2020, they officially became a couple. Michelle's persuasive skills convinced Kyle to move to New York, where they established roots in Manhattan and now Brooklyn. In 2024, Kyle planned the perfect proposal with the help of Michelle's friends. On November 2nd, during a beautiful fall day in Little Island Park, Kyle got down on one knee and proposed. Michelle was overwhelmed with joy. To make the day even more special, Kyle had arranged a surprise brunch with Michelle's closest friends. The day was filled with love, laughter, and celebration.
