Our story begins in the heart of our hometown, Vernon Hills, where we have known each other for almost our entire lives. Growing up, our paths crossed many times with having similar friends, but our relationship didnt grow until much later. It wasnt until the end of high school that we realized our connection was something truly special.

We hung out many times and spent a lot of extra time together in graphics class. Marking January 22, 2016 our anniversary; a very romantic date filled with playing Sorry and Just Dance in the Dickmans basement. Later that year, I, Kendall, graduated and went to The University of Iowa, while I, Kyle, embarked on my journey the following year at The University of Missouri. This marked the beginning of our long-distance relationship, a challenge we embraced with unwavering commitment.

Over the course of five years, we traveled countless miles, bridging the gap between Iowa City and Columbia. Each visit was filled with joy, and every goodbye only strengthened our love. We navigated the trials of distance, supporting each other throughout our college years. Although many thought we were crazy, our love just continued to deepen.

Finally, we moved to Chicago and started a new chapter, living together and building a life side by side. This time together allowed us to create countless memories and deepen our love even further. We traveled all around the world, exploring new places and experiencing new adventures together. We spent a lot of time with our families, creating a special bond with each others loved ones. As well as, making countless memories with our friends the past 9 years.

On March 24, 2024, I, Kyle, proposed, and it was the happiest moment of our lives. We were then surprised with a celebration of our engagement with both of our families, making this moment even more special.

Our journey has been a testament to the power of love, patience, and perseverance. Now, as we stand on the brink of a new adventure, we are thrilled to share this special moment with you. Our story has been filled with friendship, love, and unwavering dedication. We cant wait to celebrate our love and future together with all of you who have been part of our journey.

Thank you for being here and for your continued love and support. Heres to a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and endless love.

With all our love,

Kendall & Kyle
