Sydney and Kevin met serendipitously in Tampa, Florida in December 2018. Sydney was finishing graduate school at USF when Kevin came to Tampa to visit an old college roommate. Kevin was living on Marco Island at that time and working at Calusa Pines Golf Club for the Winter. On January 12, 2019, Kevin drove 3 hours to take Sydney on their first date to a local restaurant on the Tampa Riverwalk. Over the next few months of their long-distance relationship, they met each other’s friends, visited each other’s families and hometowns, and fell in love. In May 2019, when Kevin’s work in Naples had finished, Kevin asked Sydney if he should move to Tampa to continue their Love Story. Sydney said yes! Then, on February 9, 2023, Kevin asked Sydney if she would marry him. Sydney said yes again!
