Taylor and Kyle first met at their local church in their Tuesday night Bible study, where casual conversations quickly revealed an easy, genuine connection. Wanting to take a small but meaningful step, Kyle made the first move one Sunday morning when he asked if he could sit by Taylor during the service. That simple gesture became the moment their friendship began to grow into something more.

After church that same morning, Kyle gathered a bit more courage and asked Taylor if she’d like to grab lunch. Over chicken wings  and easy conversation, the two found themselves connecting effortlessly, laughing and opening up like they’d known each other far longer. From there, the rest was history, one lunch turned into many, and before long they were seeing each other more and more, building something sweet and meaningful together.

Their first official date was at a little local seafood shack, chosen simply because they both shared an undeniable love for raw oysters. Between the clinking shells, laughter, and the comfort of being fully themselves, they felt something deeper growing, something steady and God-given. It didn’t take long for both of them to realize that He had bigger plans for their story, and that marriage was already glimmering on the horizon.

Taylor and Kyle’s engagement was nothing short of magical. On their way to a concert, it was suggested they make a stop at the river walk, where the sunset painted the sky in soft golds and pinks. There, with the water shimmering behind them, he surprised Taylor by getting down on one knee and asking the question she’d been praying for. They celebrated afterward with friends, full of joy and happy tears, and just when Taylor thought the surprises were over, Kyle went even further the next day by planning a surprise engagement party with their closest friends who are like family, making the moment even more unforgettable.
