Lo and behold maintaining the relationship across the globe was a ride with its ups and downs but overall a ride very much worth it. Post Europe ventures sent Jessica back to school for 5 years where she has now officially graduated with a Doctorate in hand.

Kyle and Jessica have been living together for what will be going on 4 years now with a big move in the middle from Irvine to San Jose to finish the latter part of her required Doctorate experience but the move did not happen before Kyle decided to ask one very important question.

On an overcast morning of July 16th, 2022 under the guise that the mother of the bride, Katie, wished to take Christmas card photos at the beach with all of her children and grandchildren present Kyle pulled a fast one on a sleepy Jessica. He managed to pull off a surprise proposal with Jessica's immediate family and his as well.

Now with a big move up to northern California after the proposal, both decided that a wedding up here would be too wonderful of an opportunity to pass up thus inviting all their family and friends to celebrate their marriage up in the Bay Area and elated to have everyone together to share in such a momentous occasion.
