Our Wedding

Finding Love on a Family Vacation

Like a true Hallmark movie, Drake was on a family vacation in Tucson, Arizona where Kayla was in school. He, being the romantic he is, decided to get on Tinder during his 5 day stay out west... and he matched with Kayla. They made plans to meet up but from the beginning Simba made it clear he was the boss in the relationship and demanded a trip to the emergency vet for a scratched cornea. That should've been the end of our story, but instead Kayla and Drake were drawn to each other and continued to text and facetime for 4 months before finally deciding to meet in person. Drake flew back out to Tucson in November and Kayla flew to Chicago in December. As most people do, they expressed their love for each other during their third in-person meeting in February of 2020 while on a cruise out of New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Hopelessly in love, living across the country from each other, and growing stronger in their relationship everyday until finally moving to Chicago and confirming they were ready to spend the rest of life together.
