OUR STORY

Like all great love stories...

...it started with a missing doggy bag. It was May 2020, and for a brief moment, the world was emerging from lockdown. COVID numbers were dropping, and experts said the summer heat would kill-off the virus. The pandemic was over! Or so we thought. But while the “end” of the pandemic did not last long, fortunately for Ryan, it lasted just long enough for Kaile to finally agree to go on a date.

Still weary of COVID, like most couples during the pandemic, Ryan and Kaile went on a hike for their first date. And perhaps still weary of Ryan, Kaile brought her dog (Leo) to help break the ice—and break the ice he did. No more than 15 minutes into the hike, Leo stopped to poop. Not particularly noteworthy, except Kaile had forgotten a doggy bag. She was mortified. There were doggy bags available at the start of the hike, but that was nearly half a mile away. Others had left their dogs droppings, so Kaile could have easily done the same. But without hesitating, Kaile ran back to the start of the hike to retrieve a bag. It was in that moment that Ryan knew she was the one.

From there, Ryan and Kaile quickly incorporated each other into their respective “bubbles,” and the two have been inseparable ever since. From a global pandemic, to graduating law school, to starting work, and many more major family and life events in between, Ryan and Kaile have been through it all—always with a smile, a sense of joy knowing the other was by their side, and of course, an extra doggy bag, just in case. Today, their love is stronger than ever, and they could not be more excited to share that love with all of you.
