Abbey and Kyle met in 2006 during orchestra class at Mona Shores High School. Abbey was a freshman who played viola and Kyle was a senior who played violin. Although their time was limited knowing each other just one semester, Abbey would admit later that she did have a crush on him during that class. (Kyle did admit remembering the stripped shirts and jean skirts that she would like to wear.)

Abbey and Kyle’s paths would cross one more time before getting to know each other. This encounter happened at a Western Michigan football game. Abbey arrived late to the game, which she was attending with her friends. Unknowingly, she happened to stand in front of Kyle and his friends as they watched the game. Kyle then bopped Abbey in the head with noise stick to get her attention. They exchanged a quick greeting, and went their separate ways.

Years later, their love story would begin when Abbey moved home to finish her last year of graduate school. They both were using a respectable dating site (match.com) Abbey came across Kyle’s picture and decided to like his profile. The ball was now in his court. Kyle saw the like on his profile and decided to send Abbey a message. A few weeks of talking, Kyle finally decided to ask Abbey out on a date. They shared their first date at Topshelf Pizza, Kyle learning how much Abbey adored pizza. That first date would lead them to the love that they share for each other today. Their story may not be traditional, but it is every bit unique just as they are.
