We met in college at the University of Washington. Tay was invited to a "Grab-a-date" party (aka date party) at Kyle's fraternity (Fiji) by one of Kyle's good friends. Kyle says he had his eye on Tay all night, and he finally made a move to talk to her later in the evening. We chatted for hours upon hours, met up at the UW Husky game tailgates the next day, and the rest is history. Kyle made it official on November 21st, 2014 after Tay gave him a bad time for not asking her to be his official girl friend yet!

With Tay being the ultimate planner, she never thought Kyle would be able to pull off a true surprise proposal. But as always, he blew her away and went far beyond. At the top of their favorite walk on the Greenbank Farm on Whidbey Island, Kyle got down on one knee and proposed. As always, Rainey our Golden Retriever stole the show and was the star of every picture! After the proposal, Kyle and Tay headed back to Kyle's cabin to be greeted by all of our local family holding a beautiful sign and champagne. Kyle had more up his sleeve, with 20+ of our closest friends from all over the country jumping out and surprising Tay and making her fall to the ground in happy tears. We proceeded to party all day and night to celebrate, and it was truly the best day of our lives thus far!
