Our story starts out as many millennials do these days: on dating apps. To this day we are not sure how Hinge set us up since we lived 82 miles away from one another and our radius was set for 50 miles. However, we are glad it happened! We matched in January of 2022. Kyle favorited Kim's photo of her picking an apple out of a tree because it is one of Kyle’s favorite fruits (you may notice touches of apples throughout our day!).
We met in Allentown at Stooges Bar and Grill, a halfway point between our houses, for drinks. It was a very cold February day and the perfect weather for the cozy corner table Kyle chose. Kyle discovered Kim's actual job (IFYKYK) and seeing we had a lot in common our date wound up going for hours. A couple of drinks, dinner, and two waitresses later we agreed on a second date after Kyle came back from a trip to Jamaica.
Our love of travel and history brought us many trips all around the world since we met in February 2022 which only cemented our love for each other more. From Kim's first group trip to Delaware a month after they met, to our annual Vegas trip, to the many cruises and getaways we've done, travel and history have been a huge part of our story!
Kyle proposed in January of 2024 in Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California with both our best friends to celebrate with us. Kyle had to make some last minute location changes when we realized it was windy and freezing in the park and no one had winter clothes with them. Kim was distracted and did not notice he was proposing at all. Don't worry - she clearly said yes when she figured it out!
We can't wait to celebrate with you all! Most important to Kyle is that you enjoy the food and dance the night away!
See you on the dance floor!
