We met at the North American Country Music Association, International competition. I met Cheyenne and her smile lit up the entire room. You couldn't help but smile with her. We talked all week long and she just understood me... on a deeper level than anyone ever has. The last night of the competition before everyone had to go home, I asked her if she had feelings for me... and she replied "Sometimes." So I decided to leave my feelings for her alone, even though all I really wanted from her that night was a kiss.
Kyle and I hadn't spoken for almost a year, but I still thought about him from time to time. Then one morning as I was out taking care of the horses and praying, like I always did when I was in the barn, God spoke to me. He whispered "Kyle." My first thought was "Kyle? Wait Kyle Brigham? But, doesn't he have a girlfriend?" and God told me to just call him. So I did. I sent him a message on Instagram saying :"Hey Birmingham (inside joke), long time no talk. I tried to call you but I didn't get an answer. What's your number again? (:" Smooth... I know. But, he sent me his number and we talked that night. About life about who we were and four hours later I realized why God had told me to call him. Because this man was the one that wasn't going to let me down.
It was Christmas Eve and Kyle and I were staying in Florida with his folks for the holidays. We went to Royal Springs, which is a natural spring that he grew up swimming in, and took a walk. When we got to the platform that is fifteen feet over the water, we stood there holding hands and I had my head on his shoulder, just enjoying the peaceful environment. After a few minutes he broke the silence asking me "Are you sure you love me?" I replied "Of course I do. That's a silly question babe." He then asked "Are you sure you want to marry me?" I lifted my head off his shoulder to look in his eyes and said "Yes. Without a doubt." He then let go of my hand and got down on one knee, pulling out a gorgeous ring and said "well good, because Cheyenne Alexis Graff, I want to make you my wife. Will you Marry Me?" I started to cry and of course said YES!!
