Kevin & Megan
OUR STORY
Kevin and Megan met online on October 22nd 2014. Megan was looking to find someone special after she moved back to Spokane on her own, and Kevin was looking to find something a little more serious. Kevin was ranked Megan's best match so she figured what the heck. Their initial conversations focused on Megan's travel and Kevin's work and the two could feel something starting.
Just over one week after they started talking, Kevin took her on their first date. Italian for dinner, followed by black light mini golf. Unknown to Megan, Kevin at the time was suffering through severe tooth pain that left him quiet and distracted during dinner, so much so that she almost called it off. But, as Kevin's pain killers kicked in, his charming personality began to shine through and Megan realized this might be something different. Kevin, meanwhile, had decided the moment Megan opened the door that she was the girl he was going to marry. After mini golf, which Megan won, no surprise, the two made plans to meet the next day for Halloween, and the day after for some football. By the end of the weekend Kevin was hooked and Megan was cautiously optimistic. (You'll see that theme throughout the relationship). So on November 13th 2014 Kevin surprised Megan with roses and asked her to be his girlfriend.

So on November 13th 2014 Kevin surprised Megan with roses and asked her to be his girlfriend.
As their relationship grew into something spectacular Kevin, a mere month and a half after they started dating said "I love you". Megan, at a literal loss for words said nothing, while simultaneous panicking about the future (another theme). But, only 4 short days later, poor Kevin felt like it was an eternity, she said those magic 3 words and a whole new saccharine vocabulary was readily adopted. It wasn't long after that, her and Kevin brought home their first pet, Leonidas, the great mouse hunter. Leo quickly took after his dad and began terrorizing everything in sight, murdering small animals and loudly declaring that he was the new boss. But, theres nothing like a sociopathic cat to bring two people closer together.
That is, until they go on a 10 day, 3,000 mile road trip from Spokane, Washington to San Francisco, California to Las Vegas, Nevada to the Grand Canyon and Hurricane in Utah, and then back to Spokane via Montana and Idaho. The trip, however unlikely, only brought Kevin and Megan closer together, and revealed truly how much they belonged together.
Kevin asked Megan to move in with him in the Spring of 2016, and in late May they moved into their tiny blue house in Sprague, Washington. As Kevin and Megan's friends started to get married, buy houses, and think about children, they too began to think about what their future may hold, by that I mean Megan pestered Kevin about getting married, and Kevin ridiculed Megan for even talking about it. But low and behold, against all odds, Kevin proposed while on Spring Break in Monterey just outside of one of Megan's favorite places, the Monterey Aquarium. She said yes, obviously, and the rest is history in the making.
