Our Wedding

“I genuinely fell for you when I wasn't even searching for love.”      Their story started back at the beginning of January 2022. It was at Osaka Sushi in Woodland when they saw each other for the first time. Courtney was there for a teacher lunch in with her collogues and Kyle was there for lunch with the guys from the Zamora Fire Department. Ironically they sat at tables next to each other. Courtney's friend Becky and collogue was telling her not only was one of the fire guys her husband but one of them was single too. Kyle's friend Paul (Becky's Husband) happened to be telling Kyle the same thing, that one of the teachers was his wife and the redhead sitting next to her was single. It was the awkward staring moment and trying not to make eye contact to get a good look at each other. After lunch Kyle and Courtney met, said “Hello” and that was that. Later in the week Kyle had found Courtney on instagram and they began talking from there. It was a strong connection the two of them shared from the start. Courtney told Becky how Kyle had reached out and she had to get all the details about this new guy she was talking to. So later in January they ended up going on their first date with each other. They spent the night going to dinner and just talking. It came easy for them and they felt really comfortable like they've known each other forever. From that night on the couple became inseparable and Kyle will never forget the cheetah print jacket Courtney wore on their first date. He teases her about it still to this day.        Since day one, Kyle has treated Courtney’s kids as if they were his own. If you'd ask him about dating a woman with two kids he would say, “I knew she came as a packaged deal.” Kyle and Courtney’s love for one another continued to grow and Kyle began to form an unbreakable bond with her kids.      Many adventures, traveling and fun times were had over that first year. As Kyle said, “Finally hit the target with this beauty.” Fast forward to year 2023. Kyle thought it was time to settle down and make it official with Courtney. With respect Kyle knew Courtney's dad had passed away but he still wanted to make sure and get her mom and her Uncle Matt's(Courtney’s dad’s brother)blessing because it was important to him and he knew it would be the right thing to do. When Kyle asked Courtney’s mom she agreed with joy and excitement. She was happy for them and is excited to see what their future holds. Uncle Matt was close to Courtney as they shared a special bond. He was the closest person to a father figure after her dad passed away. He told Kye that it meant a lot to him for asking him in honor of Mark, (Courtney's dad). He was happy to see Courtney had found someone who would not only treat her with respect and unconditional love but take on the father figure role for her kids as well and be there for them.       In June of 2023 they went on a family trip to Maui. It was the last day of the trip that Kyle had taken Courtney and the kids out to the beach to collect sand for their memory jar that he popped “the question.” Courtney had no idea the whole entire trip. There were multiple times where Kyle was going to do it but if you know Kyle he doesn't like to be the center of attention and was waiting for the perfect opportunity that was intimate and special. It was that morning with just the four of them on the beach that he got down on one knee behind Courtney as she was taking a picture of the kids looking out at the ocean. Courtney turned around and screamed with excitement because she couldn't believe it. The kids came running over and Kyle then had asked Courtney to marry him. The kids were excited as well and happy to see their mom so happy. They looked forward to telling the rest of the family when they met up at the airport. It was definitely a special moment that they will cherish forever. Courtney and Kyle were so happy and people would say just by seeing them together they knew it was bound to happen. As time went on the kids would joke and call Courtney and Kyle each other's fiancés, it was cute and made them all laugh.        Finally here we are a year and a half later and it’s almost their wedding day!!
