We had our first date in March of 2024. Michael planned a date that started at Nikki’s for sushi, then playing golf at Rounds, and we wrapped up the night at Seven Mile. By the end of the weekend, dating apps were deleted and we had gone on a second date! Since then, our lives have been filled with cheering each other on at Capt’n Bills during our sand volleyball leagues, singing along at concerts at Live Oak and Greenfield Lake, friendly competition in fantasy football, beach days at Fort Fisher, and spontaneous nights downtown with friends. Michael has become a Tennessee Volunteers fan, and Kylie has grown to love the Washington Commanders and ECU Pirates. We also enjoy spending weekends at Ocean Isle with family, golfing (With Michael’s help, Kylie has really improved since our first date) and in February of 2025, we bought our first home together, where we’re always having friends and family over for parties and dinners. We’re so excited for our wedding later this year and can’t wait to celebrate with our loved ones.
