Chapter 1: Friends to Lovers

Kaden and Makinley offically became friends in November of 2019. While the two knew of each other through mutual friend groups, neither spent much time with each other. Until Kaden's birthday, where the pair met at Kublai Khan in Southaven to celebrate.

Chapter 2: Inseparable

From there, the pair could not be seperated! They moved in together in April of 2020, much to mom's annoyance. Their relationship continued to grow and deepen and Kaden finally broke out of the friend zone in June of 2020. Kaden has grown into the family, finding his place admidst the ever-growing Gantert family. Equally, Makinley became a new addition to the McMillian family.

The couple withstood the ultimate test of a relationship: traveling together. They have traveled over much of the United States, quickly visiting 10 states in 5 years. They also began sharing more and more common interests over the years, adopting each other's hobbies of video games, football, and Marvel movies. Little did they know what life had in store.

Chapter 3: Curveballs

After the death of Kaden's mom in January 2024, Kaden and Makinley added Ziggy, Kaden's mom's dog, to their little family, again, much to mom's annoyance. Finally ready to be on their own, they bought their own home in August of 2024!

After a year of living on their own together, at the annual family beach vacation, Kaden finally popped the question in July of 2025!
