Our Wedding

We wish we could say it was love at first sight, but let's be honest:&nbsp;Kyle was wearing a Spiderman button-up when we first met.&nbsp;It did however, start the conversation between us that led to where we are today.&nbsp;

We first met through our&nbsp;friend, Samantha Hanson. Kyle invited Samantha to come join him and his friends to our local Mexican hotspot, El Toucan, for a 'pitcher challenge'. Those participating ordered a pitcher of margaritas for themselves and proceeded to try and consume the whole pitcher. Dana showed up late, but went to the after-party at Scott and Kyle's place and got to know everyone better.&nbsp;





Dana was interested first. Kyle was completely oblivious, not realizing that any girl who gets up at 4&nbsp;in the morning to go to the gym with him&nbsp;is clearly not focused on her fitness. Kyle invited Dana over to try wine with him too;&nbsp;again, oblivious to the fact that she had an interest. Finally, Kyle got the hint and asked her see a movie, where we&nbsp;ended the night with our first kiss and later became a couple.&nbsp;





After a few years of dating, we moved in together, got a dog, and eventually got engaged. Which leads us to the main event that&nbsp;we can't wait to share&nbsp;with you on November 9th!&nbsp;

It Started with Margaritas and a Spiderman Button-Up...
