Edgar first met Kylie in August 2023 while playing pickleball with friends from church. Kylie had just moved back to Fort Worth from college, while Edgar had already been living there for a year. Edgar remembers thinking Kylie was super cute the first time he saw her—but she didn’t talk much. Kylie says that’s only because they were playing pickleball and she was too focused on winning to make small talk!

They were friends for a little while, but things really took off when they went two-stepping at the beginning of January, 2024. Edgar made his move, and from there, the two spent countless hours enjoying each other's company and growing closer. Just a few weeks later, they officially started dating on January 21. Kylie, who was in seminary at the time, loved having deep theological conversations with Edgar. Throughout their relationship, they've bonded over their shared love for God, sports like pickleball and volleyball, board games, and time at the movies.

In the spring, Edgar was diagnosed with thyroid cancer just a few months after their relationship began. Walking through that season together brought them closer than ever—facing challenges that no couple should ever have to endure that early. It showed them they could make it through anything side by side.

Edgar acknowledges that he's the worst at planning, but after many weeks of strenuous thinking and being counseled by Kylie's closest allies, he devised the perfect plan. On June 14, 2025, Edgar surprised Kylie with a beautiful proposal—and it was the best day ever! Now they can’t wait to celebrate their love with all their family and friends on November 24, 2025!
