Deatra Soileau and Kyle Wommack's journey began in different corners of the country but converged into a beautiful tale of love and companionship.
Deatra, born on April 17, 2001, in Houma, Louisiana, found herself moving to The Woodlands with her family in 2005. Kyle, born on May 8, 2000, in Bloomington, Illinois, moving to Conroe, Texas where his family settled in 2009.
From a young age, Deatra embraced the thrill of exploration, dabbling in various sports and hobbies, from dance, gymnastics and softball to horseback riding and rugby. Her love for music led her to choir, where she showcased her talents from 3rd grade through senior year, even venturing into honor choirs and solo competitions. She played rugby for 5 years throughout high school traveling throughout Texas and the country. Currently pursuing her Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry with a minor in Genetics at Texas A&M University, she continues to pursue her passion for science and discovery.
Kyle's journey was marked by his dedication to baseball, from his early days in t-ball to representing his varsity team at Willis High School and select teams traveling the country. Graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University, Kyle's academic achievements mirror his commitment to excellence. He now works at Hunton Trane as a Sales Engineer, where he has been selected to attend Trane's Graduate Training Program.
Their paths intersected in 2017 during their sophomore year of high school, introduced by a mutual friend, Emily Counter, whom Kyle met at a Woodlands Vs. Conroe football game. Instantly bonding, they formed an inseparable trio, sharing laughter and adventures. Deatra and Kyle’s friendship blossomed into something deeper, culminating in their first date on February 14th, 2017, and officially becoming a couple on February 23rd, 2017.
As they navigated high school together, their bond grew stronger with each passing day. When they weren’t at school, work or sports practice they were at the gym, watching movies or going to concerts. Graduating on the same day, from different schools - Willis and The Woodlands - they embarked on the next chapter of their lives, both heading to College Station to attend Texas A&M in the fall of 2019.
In December of 2022, Kyle orchestrated a breathtaking proposal in Buena Vista, Colorado, surprising Deatra with a trip to the picturesque mountains. Surrounded by friends turned photographers, Travis and Mitchell, and Travis' wife, Mae, Kyle asked Deatra to spend forever with him on the frozen lake of the Clinton Gulch Dam Reservoir, and she eagerly said yes.
Their engagement marked the beginning of a new adventure, filled with love, laughter, and countless memories yet to be made. As they journey through life together, Deatra and Kyle are bound by a love that knows no bounds, united in their commitment to each other and the extraordinary journey that lies ahead.
