On a cold evening in January, both of us were on Christian Mingle, very single, and wondering just how many more creepy "potentials" we would be matched with before true love found us. Kyle thought Stephanie's first profile photo was a little crazy, but hoped it showed her true personality. After seeing Kyle's "smile" notification, Stephanie thought, "Why not! I'll give it a shot and put a pause on dating if it doesn't work out." So she decided to send a smile back. Who knew hitting the "smile" button would turn into love forever? From that moment forward we sent messages back and forth getting to know each other with messages that resembled novels (at least that's what Kyle's friends thought about his messages). After a few weeks, Kyle asked to meet in person. We met at Caribou and the conversations picked up right where they left off. A few dates and our shared testimonies later, Kyle started thinking more about having the DTR (Defining The Relationship) conversation. Stephanie must have thought Kyle wasn't too creepy because on March 18th she said yes to being official. Over the next 3 months we continued to grow closer to each other as we focused on how we might bring glory to God through our relationship. One day while bowling and cheesily staring into each other's eyes, we caught ourselves realizing we had fallen in love. After a few more months of making sure our love for each other was certain, we said those magical words to each other... "I like you!" Just kidding... we said "I Love You!" That is when Kyle knew he wanted to marry her one day. So he started praying about this choice. In August 2019, Kyle met with Stephanie's dad and asked for his permission. After he said yes, Kyle devised the perfect plan to fly Stephanie's best friend to Minneapolis to photograph the happiest moment of our lives. On October 12th, 2019, Kyle asked Stephanie to marry him and she crazily said "YES!" And now we are enjoying engagment and preparing for our future together!
