Wedding Date on Aug 28, 2020

Kyle and I first met during a high school basketball tournament. If you ask Kyle, he’ll tell you our first interaction was while I kept score for one of his games. Apparently he tried to chat me up while he was subbing in the game, and I rolled my eyes at him. I question the validity of his story, but regardless, we officially met at some point that weekend. It just wasn’t the beginning of a love story.. or so we thought. Several years later, Kyle and my brother fortuitously became college teammates, which meant we were around each other often. Near the end of their senior year, it was evident - to everyone - that Kyle had a crush on me. He chased me around for an entire year, trying to win me over with free drinks and Jimmy Johns. At last, another basketball tournament and our overlapping group of friends brought us together. In May 2013, we were both starting new chapters, and luckily for me, Kyle hadn’t given up yet. In a few short months, I was completely head over heels and knew he would one day become my husband. Over the last eight years, we’ve celebrated milestones, encountered setbacks, attended dozens of concerts, watched too many episodes of Game of Thrones and even spent 9 months living in Italy. Two and half years ago, we moved to Portland, Oregon for Kyle to pursue a coaching position, and between the rooftop bar scene and NBA games, we’ve acclimated nicely to city life. We’re now embarking on our biggest adventure yet, marriage!
