Our Wedding

Kylie and Joey met for the first time on February 7, 2021, in Nashville, TN at a Super Bowl watch party where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Kansas City Chiefs! They hit it off as the only two&nbsp;Bucs fans in the room. Over the next year, Kylie and Joey remained close friends and work colleagues, sharing the same great group of friends. They frequently traveled to Broadway, sports games, football watch parties and more always sharing a close bond. In March of 2022, Kylie and Joey both found themselves wanting to see each other a little bit more. They began hanging out A LOT and Joey finally asked Kylie on their first date to a steakhouse. It was crystal clear that after a year of maturing, being established in their careers and truly healthy, Kylie and Joey were supposed to be together. They officially began their relationship on March 31, 2022. Since then, Kylie and Joey have lived an exciting whirlwind life together. They've grown in their professional careers, traveled as often as they could to Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Colorado, Utah and the Carolinas and attended more weddings than they could count on both hands. They learned and love all the corky traits of each other, melded their schedules and lifestyles with one another, and truly found what it was like to be one unit. They're so grateful to both the Dunleavy and the Brown families for embracing each new addition with open hearts. Kylie and Joey live together in Nashville, TN, and are incredible dog parents to Penny. They love exercising and fitness, traveling, watching and attending all sports games, especially for UF and UCF, playing intense chess matches and board games, boating days, live music and concerts, having drinks with their best friends and hosting family dinners. Celebrating on August 3, 2024, with Kylie and Joey means the world to them. The countdown is on!

Kylie & Joe's Love Story

Our Story

Photos

My older sister, my icon and role model. Taylor has been my partner in crime since day 1. She's easy to love, sprinkles humor into all things and is the best mother to her two troublemakers. Through an entire childhood of tormenting and fighting, we've somehow made it out on the other side.  We share a love for ALL things food, travel, stealing each other's clothes, and the sporadic and chaotic family facetimes. 

Taylor Brown

My best friend and partner in crime. Somehow we didn't kill each other in our younger years and people wouldn't believe that we are inseparable when together. Mikey never fails to make me laugh and makes friends with everyone he meets. A must see on the dance floor, Mikey has absolutely no fear and will make sure everyone in the room knows it. After all the years of terrorizing him and making a fool out of myself, I'm terrified about the best man's speech. 

Mikey Dunleavy

My little sister and mini-me! Camryn was honored to watch Taylor and I make all the mistakes growing up and decided she would be the first to learn from said mistakes. She's turned into the most responsible, driven and hardworking student and athlete. The biggest blessing during the covid "saga" was moving home into Camryn's room and having months of sleepovers that are absolutely priceless. 

Camryn Brown

My youngest brother and probably the most like me out of the family if you ask anyone who knows us. Ryan sleeps more than any other human I know but when he's awake, he's still half asleep. Even though we know he's mom and dad's favorite, he couldn't have gotten there without learning from me and Mikey's grand teenage mistakes. I was always the one protecting Ryan when he was younger, but I think he finally MIGHT be able to last in a fight with me now. 

Ryan Dunleavy

Summer and I met in 7th grade and quickly became inseparable and insufferable besties (our poor, poor parents). I've never had a friend more loyal or trustworthy than Summer. From sneaking out of our parent's houses to reeking chaos in Randall and Newsome and keeping up a cross-country friendship, Summer is the most dependable right-hand gal. Her beauty, kindness, humor and general presence light up any room she's in. 

Summer Bornstein

Spencer is one of my best friends that I met in college. Ever since I met Spencer, he has been the big brother I never had and has always been there for me whenever I needed him. Working odd jobs together in college between construction and bar security, we grew pretty close. But I'm grateful that the years since then have proven to make us even closer brothers living in the same city and working on the same project together up in Nashville. 

Spencer Hazen

For the past 16 years, Kendall and I have been a dynamic duo no one knew they needed. Kendall is what one would call "The Life of the Party," an absolute fashion icon and diva. Kendall has true loyalty to her friends and will back you up in any situation, even if you are 10000% in the wrong. Outside of her incredible social life and expert shopping skills, Kendall always has an open ear, consistently checks in on me, and is the hype woman every girl needs. 

Kendall Smith

Travis and me were brought together by sports when we were young in school. Between hanging out on the lake after long days at school or when I was taking notes and Travis was sleeping in Mr. Marinack's class, we've grown up side by side. Travis has always been a calm head and a great friend that I can lean on. Even though we don't live in the same state, Travis still makes time to hang out whenever I'm back in town. 

Travis Doyel

DUUUUUH DUH DUH DUH DUH GO GATORS! Caroline and I met back at the University of Florida in our ADPi sorority. Caroline and I share a love for the Gators, Salty Dog!!! and any athletic activity you can think of, especially football, pickleball and kickball. Caroline's dedication to her friends, ability to make ANY time a great time, and positive outlook on life are infectious. I've truly never met a more competitive and exciting human and I hope you all get to see that side of her come out on the dance floor. 

Caroline Crouch

Nathan is one of my oldest friends, I'm pretty sure our parents had us hanging out together before we could walk. Our typical Saturdays consisted of watching wakeboard videos and almost killing ourselves trying some of the moves behind the boat. Nate's currently in the Coast Guard, and I know whenever he's around, we're going to pick up right where we left off, having great times with a beer in hand by the water or a fire. 

Nathan Holt

The youngest in the friend group but the wisest and most responsible (lol)! Madi and I became instant and close friends after I moved to Nashville. Madi is the sisterly support I need away from home. I absolutely love her compassion for her friends, her willingness to support me day in and out, and her laugh more than anything. Whether it's routine family dinners or game nights, these experiences with her make up my favorite Nashville memories. 

Madi Lewis

John has been one of my friends since before I can remember. Our parents loved the life of water skiing and brought us right into the mix as soon as we could walk. Whether it was nights I was sleeping over at John's, hanging out on the lake, playing baseball or manhunt through the neighborhood on the weekends, John made my life a blast through the 28 years that I've known him and has been one of my biggest supporters.

John Kranendonk

Jordy and I met back at UF in ADPi and little did we know then we would become such close friends! Jordy introduced me to all things Nashville. Aside from being incredibly hard working and having the purest soul, Jordan is down right a great time and holds such a positive outlook on life. My favorite memories with Jordan are our group runs/walks, petting any dog we can find, trying the best new food spot and now traveling with our men (also besties). 

Jordan Story

Ashton is another member of my HP family who became a really close friend over the few years I've known him. He is an absolute class clown who always brings chaos to any group setting. After living together for a year and a half, I'm sure he's missing his weekly ass-kicking at NHL on Friday nights. Natural-born dj/should've been a backup dancer; this man will bring gravy to the dance floor. 

Ashton Weakley

SWEET SWEET DEV! Devan and I met at UF when we were paired as Big and Little and little did I know Devan would be the absolute rock I needed during and after college. From our evenings at Salty Dog, visiting UF, to traveling to New York City as little babies together, and our wine nights in Orlando, Devan has been the warmest, most reliable and most comforting friend I could've ever needed. 

Devan Kocarek

Chris and I have known each other since pre-school and really bonded when we were in high school. Ever since the first night he spent over at my house and jumped onto Ryan on a wakeboard, I knew we'd be great friends. Chris and I roomed together in college and miraculously made it through two years of living together in tight quarters. Chris has always treated me like family and is never afraid to tell me what I need to hear; another one of my biggest supporters and truest friends. 

Chris Tejas

Dani and I met back at the University of Florida in ADPi, but I really think we were long-lost sisters waaaaaay before then. From Whiskey Jams to venting sessions, Broadway to SEC Saturday, Dani is THERE. She's an incredibly supportive friend, will defend you until the day she dies, and give you confidence when you need it most. From some wilden' days to the tame ladies we are now,  I'm so excited for us to take on being brides together and starting our own families!

Dani Jaffe

Nick and I met while we working for Hensel Phelps down in Orlando and we seemed really good at finding trouble or closing down a bar when we were out together. I followed Nick over to Tampa after our time in Orlando and we continued the chaos when we weren't working on the Tampa Airport project together. Nick embodies the work hard, play hard attitude and will give Ashton a run for his money on best vibes at the reception.

The Nashville International Airport will be the nearest airport to fly into (Joe built this one!!!). The drive from the airport to Franklin is approximately 35-40 minutes south. Rental cars are recommended. However, there are a ton of Ubers and Lyfts to provide transportation.
