Our Wedding

Allison and Kyle’s story began at the University of Dubuque Aviation Flight Center in 2020. After several years as a regional airline pilot based in Chicago, Kyle returned to the University as an Assistant Chief Flight Instructor. Meanwhile, Allison—a spirited and passionate dispatcher with a love for all things aviation—was also working at the university. From 2020 to 2022, their paths frequently crossed at the airport, often engaging in lively conversations about aviation topics, Taylor Swift’s latest news, and everything in between. Fate stepped in a year later, when their two mutual friends played matchmaker. By late February 2022 they would go on their first official date. Kyle, now a corporate pilot, and Allison, a flight instructor, shared a casual evening over Mexican food and a movie. That first date marked the beginning of many more as their connection continued to grow.&nbsp; Over time, Allison and Kyle bonded over their mutual love for the St. Louis Cardinals, their two beloved cats, Leo and Woody, and a shared passion for cooking shows. In the summers, they enjoy afternoons on the golf course, leisurely neighborhood walks, and cheering on (or yelling at) the Cardinals and Indiana Fever on TV. Winters are often filled with trying new restaurants, football Sundays, and sourdough bread making. They love taking on new adventures together and traveling to new places as a couple. On September 29, 2024, Kyle proposed to Allison at Wilson's Apple Orchard, a place they’d visited together every fall since they started dating. The orchard holds a special place in their hearts and they can't wait to return as a married couple to continue the tradition.&nbsp; Allison adores Kyle’s kind heart and his ability to make her laugh, while Kyle cherishes Allison’s openness to trying new things and shared enthusiasm for life’s simple joys. As they look forward to their future together, they’re excited to grow old side by side, creating memories filled with love and laughter.
