Our Wedding

Kyle (an Indiana native) and Amber (an Arizona native) crossed paths&nbsp;in the fourth largest city in the country. (Something only the hand of God could orchestrate!) Different career opportunities brought the two to Houston, neither thinking it would be somewhere they’d call “home” long term. &nbsp;When Amber first moved to&nbsp;Houston, she signed up at a popular new gym in town, where Kyle happened to be a trainer.&nbsp;For many months Amber attended Kyle's classes regularly. It wasn't until the gym's annual Christmas party that the two got a chance to mingle outside the gym,&nbsp;chat, and get to know each other a bit. After 60 McNuggets, some Chase Rice tunes and a goodnight kiss, it was that night they both knew there was something special.







Instead of rushing into a relationship, Kyle and Amber felt it important to get to know each other as friends first. So, for 6+ months that's exactly what they did...but everyone around them saw their sparks!&nbsp;During that time, Kyle left the gym to pursue a career in medical device sales. He headed west to California for a two-month training, and their communication subsided a bit.&nbsp;Upon his return, he asked Amber to a&nbsp;dinner date&nbsp;at their favorite downtown restaurant, Beer Market, and she happily accepted. She could tell in his voice something was different. At dinner they laughed and caught up on the past two months apart, and they both knew what they had was more than a friendship.

 







Kyle and Amber embarked on a summer of fun together in Houston. They spent plenty of time poolside, soaking up the sun, laughing, and enjoying the closest fast food joint. That fall brought lots of Notre Dame football games at their favorite Irish Pub downtown, concerts around the city, and per usual, too much fast food. The following year Kyle and Amber took their relationship to the next level by committing to move together to the suburbs of Houston. Living in Conroe also brought them plenty of laughs, poolside memories, and new fast food experiences.&nbsp;After a successful, and joyous, 15 months of living together they both agreed living together forever, might not be long enough!

 







Although both are homesick at times, Kyle and Amber recently purchased their first home together, in Spring, TX&hellip;another Houston suburb. They both feel beyond blessed, and excited to embark on this next chapter of their lives as homeowners, loving dog parents, and soon-to-be husband and wife!

 







They are also both actively, and somewhat unsuccessfully, trying to tone down their fast food intake.
