We worked in the same department at the hospital. We were both hired on the same day and hit it off pretty much immediately. Started dating soon afterward under our boss's nose (oops!) and eventually left that position to pursue consulting together. That was in 2011, and we've been traveling all over the country ever since.
Kyle whisked me off to Japan over Christmas of 2017. As we loitered on a street corner on a wintery night in Yokohama, he glanced at me nervously before blurting out, "let's get married!" I was so taken aback I just laughed; I had no idea he was planning anything. After taking a couple of seconds to collect myself, I said "hell yes".
