This Bronx boy and Brooklyn girls story began back in 2005 in JKO high school. Their friendship flourished quickly and throughout their four year of H.S they were the best of friends. They both graduated and still maintained a close friendship. Their bond grew stronger, solidifying a friendship that became a cornerstone of their lives.

Both still unaware of how their story would unfold, they knew one thing for sure: they were always each other's safe space and found a sense of home in one another.

It wasn't until a few years later, at the end of one of Kayla's birthday parties, that Eli mustered up the courage to make the first move and that's how their love story began.

One of their favorite things to do is travel, so over the past decade Eli and Kayla have traveled a great amount, creating memories in so many places. They spent their 20's living their best lives. They've also built a home together and found a home church, deepening their faith and walk with christ. They love staying in having "lazy days" watching their favorite shows, new movies and their new fave Next Level Chef. They really enjoy cooking at home, trying new recipes, and finding cool new spots in NYC to have date nights. If it's a weekday and past 9pm they're probably drinking their tea in bed and watching Law and Order SVU.

Now, as they embark on this chapter called marriage, they reflect on the journey that brought them here. Their love story is a testament to the power of friendship, and resilience. Kayla and Eli are so excited to finally become Husband and Wife!
