This chapter begins with several weeks of communicating, after which we decided it was time to meet in person at one of our favorite local restaurants. It was clear from the first date that we had chemistry and we eagerly planned several more dates; one to the Cumming Fair and another to the movies. In the following months, we would attend a few weddings, where we enjoyed slow dancing and spending quality time together. In October 2023, we attended a wedding at the Biltmore Estate, where we admired the museum and walked through downtown Asheville together.

In December 2023 we spent the Christmas Holiday season with Kayla's family in Syracuse New York. On a lovely Idaho evening in the mountains, we got engaged on the balcony of our cabin, surrounded by family. After many months of eager planning, we are excited to invite you to join us as we begin the next chapter of our lives!
