Grace and Kyle’s love story began on Hinge (the dating app meant to be deleted), sparked by Grace’s admission that she’d never attended a Steelers game, despite living mere blocks from the stadium. For Kyle, an enthusiastic Steelers supporter, this revelation was unbelievable. He swiped right, eager to introduce Grace to the excitement of the game.

Their connection was immediate, and their first phone call lasted almost four hours, filled with effortless conversation, laughter, and shared interests. When they met in person at a Pittsburgh restaurant, Kyle’s decision to sit next to Grace in a booth instead of across from her felt natural and weird all at the same time. The popcorn chicken they ordered was infamously bad, but it didn’t matter—they were too busy enjoying each other’s company and still laugh about it to this day.

Not too long after they met, Kyle moved to Chicago for a few months to train for a new job. Luckily, Grace's remote job allowed her the flexibility to visit him for weeks at a time. Those months in Chicago were an unforgettable chapter in their story.

They explored the city hand in hand, braving snowy walks and marveling at the sights. They became avid fans, attending games for three out of the four Chicago major sports teams—Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bulls, and Chicago Blackhawks. Their adventures included the serene Botanical Gardens and spontaneous late-night showings of *The Godfather*. Each experience was a new page in their unfolding love story.

After dating for a while, Kyle got an exciting job opportunity in Florida. He remembers the day he asked Grace to join him on this new adventure as if it were yesterday. Nervous yet thrilled, he couldn’t wait to see her reaction. Grace was initially in shock, but that quickly turned into pure excitement.

A few months later, Kyle and Grace packed up all her belongings from Pittsburgh into a 20-foot U-Haul with a Jeep on a trailer and embarked on a 16-hour drive to Florida. This move marked the beginning of many "firsts" together: their first apartment, their first Christmas tree ornament, their first experience of Friday Night Lights, and even their first hurricane. Each moment was a new adventure, making their bond stronger and their journey even more memorable.

Kyle had always known Grace was the one. Her beauty, kindness, infectious smile, strong work ethic, and sharp wit had him hooked from the start. Planning the proposal while keeping it a surprise took all his willpower, but he managed it perfectly.

Their love has only grown stronger, and now they’re excited to take on their next big adventure—MARRIAGE!
