Our Story

Kris and Paula's journey began in a place they never thought they'd find love—the world of online dating. It was on Hinge where they first connected. They met at Prime Sushi in Kansas City for what would become the first of many unforgettable moments. They described it as easy, natural, and the start of something incredible. Fast forward to August 17th, 2024, Kris surprised Paula with a proposal that she’ll never forget. At their apartment, Paula walked in to find the space filled with over 100 red roses. With her sisters, Natalie and Alex, helping create the magical atmosphere, Kris got down on one knee and asked Paula to spend forever together. Without hesitation, Paula said yes, and the celebrations continued that night with family and friends at the Percheron rooftop bar in Kansas City. Kris and Paula are excited to continue building their life together, and can’t wait to share this special day with all of you! They also want to thank you for being part of their story. They are so grateful for the love and support they have received along the way, and are excited to see where the next chapter takes them!
