July 17, 2023 — what was supposed to be a one-day body shop receptionist training turned into the best kind of surprise.

Kamryn (the bride) was at Cadillac for that single training day. Dylan (the groom) had driven his mom, Julie, over because Phil, Dylan’s stepdad, had his truck in the shop and Julie had a few insurance questions. Julie — proud, chatty, and absolutely certain she knew a good thing when she saw it — jumped right into mom-matchmaker mode.

Julie marched in, told the story of her son, and insisted Kamryn come outside to meet him. Kamryn and Dylan chatted for about five minutes before Kamryn went back inside to finish her work day. Then, about thirty minutes later, Julie called with the message every matchmaker loves to deliver: Dylan thought Kamryn was beautiful and wanted to give her his number.

Kamryn texted him. That night they went on their first date. One short hello, one persistent mom, and one “we can’t disappoint your mom” text later — and the rest is history.

From a truck in the shop to a same-night first date, that ordinary summer day turned into the start of their forever. They can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with you.
