Modern romance, am I right?

Bumble (a dating app, for you older folks) requires that the woman sends the first message. For the more timid, they allow you to use a prompt. Annika's prompt, on 5/14/20, was "When social distancing is over, who are you making plans with first?" Annika went the safe route, saying "Friends who I haven't seen since this started!" Kyle, the "Rizz King", went with an absolute banger of an opening line: "You!!"

What followed was days and nights of texting and getting to know each other. Kyle thought it was going well, until one day... GHOSTED. (Kyle is writing this. Annika is going to be so mad when she reads it.) But hey, all of the greats have been ghosted before. Who's your favorite celeb couple? Bennifer? Yeah, she ghosted. Tate McRae and The Kid LAROI? Yeah, she ghosted. It's an essential step before true love can blossom.

Anyways. One day, months later, Kyle was playing video games when he saw a text come through. It was Annika. She was BACK! Always a wordsmith, the text said.... "hey how's it going?" And they haven't looked back since.

Some more texting and catching up made it clear that there was a spark between these two hot singles. Kyle knew it was time to strike while the iron was hot. He asked Annika on a first date. Kyle, never one to plan for much of anything, invited her to dinner after his shift at work. He didn't consider that there would be a torrential downpour. And so their first date occurred outside under a tent while rain cascaded down around them. You couldn't draw up a more romantic setting.

At the conclusion of date one, Kyle once again made a bold move, and these two hot singles shared their first kiss. What happened next, you ask?

Things were developing quickly. Kyle felt the urge to dive right in, but he wanted to be sure. So he made a rule: five dates before we make it official. These two hot singles got those dates down in about a week, and then Facebook received the news: Kyle Mahoney and Annika Corcoran are IN A RELATIONSHIP. Chaos ensued. People cried. Likes piled up.

Since then, quite frankly, it has been anything but easy. But through all of the ups and downs, we came out of it together, and dare I say stronger than ever. We have upgraded to a spacious two bedroom apartment.. WITH A POOL. We have our sweet baby girl Eva with us who is happier than ever. We have a niece and two nephews that we adore. And a baby on the way. (Just kidding. For now.)

November 2nd is the beginning of forever, and we couldn't be more thrilled to share it with all of you. Here's to many more years! #AnnikaAndKyleDownTheAisle
