Kaitlin and Kevin met through the online dating site, Bumble on April 14th, 2022. It was a late night swipe on Kaitlin's part that would lead her to the man of her dreams. After a month of texting and getting to know one another Kevin made the executive decision it was time for them to meet in person. So the perfect first date was planned.... A White Sox game.

They met at the bar an hour beforehand both nervous as can be. But once they saw each other and laughed over the man next to them wearing a hat with horns they knew they were in the right place with the right person. Many drinks, laughs, and home runs later the game ended but neither wanted the date to end. They went back to the bar which led to them going out and meeting Kevin's two best friends for drinks.

After that day more memorable dates were had, jokes were shared, and bets were made. On May 27th, 2022 Kevin took Kaitlin out to dinner to a restaurant named, Tutto Fresco, where they shared many drinks, laughs, and delicious food. It was that night that Kevin asked Kaitlin to be his girlfriend.

In June of 2023 Kevin asked Kaitlin to move in with him. The journey of finding a home that suited a Southside girl with a Northside boy was an interesting one. Who would had thought it would be a North sider to get Kaitlin to finally move into the city. On September 24th, 2023 they moved into the perfect first home for them in the West Loop. Many firsts were had in the apartment, first Halloween, grocery shopping and cooking together, first Christmas Tree, NYE, vacations, and hosting our families.

Fast forward to March 15th, 2024. Kevin had told Kaitlin to be home and ready by 5:30 that night for a surprise date. Not knowing where they were going Kaitlin had a hard time getting ready, but she managed. They hopped in the Uber and in typical Kaitlin fashion she was asking the driver questions about where they were going. Kevin was quick to shut her down and told Alexander the driver to not answer any questions. We pulled up to the restaurant, Tutto Fresco. We had not been back there since Kevin asked Kaitlin to be his girlfriend. They ate an amazing dinner with many laughs and drinks. It was the end of dinner and Kevin asked if Kaitlin wanted one more drink, she said no thinking they would go home after (It was a Friday after a long day at school). Instead of going home Kaitlin received the best surprise of her life. After asking Kaitlin's mom the week prior for her blessing, Kevin being extremely brave got up in front of the whole restaurant and got down on one knee and asked Kaitlin to be his wife.

Through tears she gleefully said yes! He then surprised her again by taking her to a bar downtown called Flight Club where both families and all friends were waiting to celebrate into the wee hours of the night. It was truly a night they would remember forever.
