It was a Saturday afternoon at West Virginia University in March 2020. Through the connection of mutual friends, our paths crossed for the first time. Neither of us could have guessed that a large gathering would be the beginning of our lives. One summer day, everything changed. We were on a day trip, in the sunshine and enjoying each other’s company. That’s when Kyle really saw Victoria: funny, warm, kind, and genuine. As we stood at the edge of the water, Victoria nervous to jump in. She reached for Kyle’s hand and in that quiet moment. He looked into her eyes and felt: This is the woman I will love forever. Just after Christmas in December, Kyle planned the perfect surprise in Pittsburgh, PA. Surrounded by candles and flowers, he got down on one knee and asked Victoria to marry him. But the magic didn’t stop there after the big “sure!” Nearby was a secret engagement party, filled with our closest family and friends. As we celebrated, above the city skyline, the night sparkled with joy and the kind of love that fills a room. We thrive on adventure and love being outdoors; whether it’s hiking mountain trails with our two cocker spaniels, Wilson and Franklin, or carving down snowy slopes in the winter. We’re always up for a good workout, a cozy date night, traveling to new places, or just spending time with our favorite people. Behind all the big moments are the tiny details that make our love uniquely ours: the silly nicknames, the shared glances that say everything, the inside jokes no one else would understand. These are the quiet threads that bind our story together, making every chapter more beautiful than the last.
