Like many modern love stories, ours began with a swipe. We met on Bumble, and from the moment we started chatting, it was clear that this was something special. After two weeks of endless conversations filled with laughter and getting to know each other, we decided it was time to meet face-to-face. So, on January 28th, 2024, during a snowstorm that would have sent most people running for cover, we braved the weather for our first date. There was no way a little snow was going to get in the way of what felt like fate!

From that night on, things took off. Daily texts turned into nightly phone calls, and before we knew it, we were planning our next date, and the one after that. Our friends were introduced, and it didn’t take long before we both knew this was it. After only a few weeks, we both realized we had found “the one.” We deleted our dating apps without a second thought and started talking about our dream wedding, our goals, and the future we wanted to build together. Everything just seemed to align perfectly, and both our families and friends saw how in love we were—so much so that Kenny’s mom started dropping not-so-subtle hints and asking when we would make it official!

We made a pact: whoever couldn’t wait any longer would be the one to propose. Unsurprisingly, Kenny’s patience ran out first. A few months in, he bought a ring and nervously asked Kyle’s mom for permission to marry her son. She gave her blessing with enthusiastic approval, and two weeks later, Kenny put his plan into motion.

On August 24th, 2024 knowing how much Kyle loves cows, Kenny planned a surprise trip to Smith’s Country Cheese in Winchendon, MA, with some friends. The farm, famous for its delicious cheese and friendly cows, was the perfect spot for a proposal Kyle would never forget. As soon as they arrived, Kyle, in true Kyle fashion, bolted towards the barn to play with the baby calves, leaving Kenny and their friends behind in his excitement. Kenny had to call him back to reality. When Kyle turned around, there was Kenny, down on one knee, holding a ring. For once, Kyle was utterly speechless (which doesn’t happen often). Kenny asked him to make him the luckiest man on earth and become his husband, and without hesitation, Kyle said yes!

And for a little laugh—a memory from our first date still makes us chuckle. At the end of the night, Kenny leaned in, gave his most charming smile, and said, “Hey, bro, want to come back to my apartment?” Kyle’s response? “Absolutely.”

From that snowy night in January to saying “I do” surrounded by our family, friends, and a few cows in spirit, we’re excited to keep writing our love story, one adventure at a time.
