Autumn and Kyle's love story begins in the May of 2023.

Kyle was preparing to move to Tyler, Texas with his best friends when they texted him that they had an idea for a blind date while he was in Tyler. The idea was that he would go out with this girl named Autumn - who was a best friend of a friend - and that Kyle and Autumn would continue talking until Kyle moved in July. Sadly, the date never happened due to Autumn's busy schedule as a girls minister in Longview, and Kyle's adjustment to life away from home for the first time carried on well into the end of 2023.

What was a promising and exciting possibility looked to instead be a "what could have been". Until the summer of 2024.

Kyle and his friends decided to leave the East Texas pines to move to Katy, Texas on the west-side of Houston. While on an apartment scouting tour in Katy, Autumn and Kyle's mutual friend hosted a housewarming party where they crossed paths again, but Kyle assumed that Autumn was still in Longview (over 4 hours away) and was reminded of the excitement of the possibility of dating her, but decided it wouldn't be wise to try and pursue someone while he was getting ready to depart ETX. What Kyle didn't know at the time was that Autumn had recently moved from Longview, back to Spring, TX on the north-side of Houston.

This put them in prime position to cross paths again at New Years 2024 at a party they had both been invited to. Over the course of the night, Autumn had shared that she was back in the area - which Kyle saw as the chance to make good on the possibility he and their friends saw in the Summer of 2023. He didn't get the chance to ask her out at the party - but spent the whole 90+ minute drive back to Katy thinking about Autumn (unaware that she was also thinking of him on her drive back). He reached out to their mutual friend to ask for Autumn's number and was greeted with an immediate (and enthusiastic) response that Autumn would be interested in a date.

After the first date, Autumn and Kyle both felt that they had finally found their match, and the one their soul longed for. The rest is history.

Autumn and Kyle hope that their relationship is a testament to the faithfulness and careful planning of the Lord, and are happy to have trusted Him with their love story.

[Editors Note: Historians and nitpickers will point out that Kyle and Autumn technically met in 2022 at IF:Gathering in Dallas. Neither of them recognize this as their canon meeting point though]
