It all started out as a joke,

and is a joke no longer 🤍

After Chianne slid into Kyle’s Instagram DMs, with her first message mentioning they’d get married one day - here we are!

In the height of Covid, living in different counties, both with demanding jobs and Chianne being a single mom, they managed to meet up half way for some dates spanning a few months! Recollections may vary on who won the most games during their first date at Dave & Busters (Chianne definitely did), but the sparks (and stomachs) definitely flew on their third date at Universal Studios when they both got sick after riding Harry Potter 4D. Still trying to impress each other, the rest of the day was mostly spent keeping their feet on the ground and getting to know each other! With that, on what we will call the fifth date, Chianne thought it might be time for Kyle to experience her louder side, so naturally she invited Kyle to meet up for dinner with her best friend and maid of honor, Kelly and her whole family to see if he could handle such crazy. With their immediate approval, and a push to not mess this up, things moved to a more serious route after that!

After a few more months of meeting in the middle and weekend trips to each others hometowns, it was time to slowly introduce Kyle to Callie. Something Chianne is most proud of is how relaxed and naturally the three of them bonded and grew together, letting Callie take the lead on how it went. Months of showing up for her softball games, school events and a few trips to the desert with the Sullivan family, who welcomed Callie with open arms (the biggest blessing to Chianne) - we are not sure who fell faster for Kyle, Chianne or Callie. It was not long before Callie preferred “her KyKy” to take her to her favorite Chick-fil-A for special date nights or called him when anything was wrong, something that brought an immense amount of comfort to Chianne, her parents and the entire family. The three were the perfect puzzle pieces in each of their lives!

In May 2022, they were tired of the long distance, and made a house a home in Simi Valley! Adjusting well to becoming a family under one roof and a little over two years under their belt, the next step was taken on May 7th 💍. Kyle (finally) got down on one knee and popped the question, much to Chianne’s surprise as she screamed and cried and truly could not believe it was happening! The day was filled with love and happiness!

The (future) Sullivan party of 3 cannot wait to officially become a family and celebrate with their favorite people!
