One chilly December night on lake Erie, Olivia was coming home from drinks with her best friends, and Kyle from dinner with his parents, Joan and Darren. They both stepped into the elevator, not knowing, that they would never spend another day apart. With a simple conversation and a few laughs, they walked into their separate apartments just two doors apart. When they parted ways, they each had their own version of feeling like their new neighbor friend was going to turn into an important person in their life, they just didn't realize how important they would really be for one another.

Kyle and Olivia spent the next month finding every reason to knock on each others door. From borrowing a bottle of olive oil, asking for recommendations on restaurants and local spots for a drink, to needing help with puzzles, drinking a bottle of wine, or cooking dinner.

Every day Olivia would come home from work, and go straight to Kyles door to get her afternoon fix of his company and smile. Kyle would patiently wait, making sure to be home around 4:45. Each little knock became a reason to chat, laugh, and linger in each other’s doorways. Knocks on the door turned into notes, then requests for a date, then love letters back and forth each day. This is still going on to this day.

By the time February rolled around, they were nothing short of infatuated. They quickly become one another's favorite dinner date, travel companion, errand partner. Sharing the same hobbies made spending every day together easy. By this time, both Kyle and Olivia knew that the connection they shared was special. There was something about the way that they shared ideas, listened to one another, and understood each others humor that made it feel like they had known each other for many years.

One year later, on another chilly Cleveland December night, Kyle (in true Kyle fashion) surprised the world, including Olivia, and got down on one knee. Before the words "Will you Mary me?" were spoken, she was saying "yes!"

Here we are a few months later gathering our most beloved family and friends together to celebrate our wedding day, and the commitment we are making to one another. We are thrilled to have you celebrate with us!
