After realizing they lived only a few streets away from one another, they became fast friends and would go kayaking together. It was during one of their kayaking trips that Kyall realized he was in love with Marie. A few months later, the day before Kyall, a yacht captain, was leaving for a boat trip to Central America, he confessed his feelings. Lucky for him, Marie felt the same and so the two officially began dating the night before Kyall shipped out. As avid scuba divers, Marie and Kyall were on a diving trip to Belize when Kyall proposed. While on their second dive, Kyall pulled Marie aside and gave her a funny look. It was then that he pulled out a slate from his BCD (buoyancy compensator) with “Will you marry me?” written on it. Marie excitedly exclaimed, “Yes!” but Kyall couldn’t understand her through the regulator, so she nodded to make sure he knew her answer. After the dive, the two went for lunch and then a walk, which was when Kyall got on one knee and presented the most beautiful ring Marie had ever seen. Being from different parts of the world, the two decided to pick a spot that family and friends from both sides could enjoy. The Caribbean seemed like the perfect place and since the Cayman Islands was only a short distance from their home in Fort Lauderdale, the two took a quick trip to check it out. Upon arrival, they imme- diately fell in love with the gorgeous island. The food they tasted was outstanding, and of course, the diving was sensational. Everyone they met on their trip offered great suggestions and tips for planning a beautiful wedding in the Caymans. The two were sold. 2 0 1 8 E D I T I O N / CAY M A N VO WS .C O M FORMALWEAR Kyall wore a seersucker suit from Jos. A. Bank.
