LOCAL LOVE : Grace + Kyle from Grace

Our love story begins on the mighty Mississippi river in 2015 . I prayed to the good Lord upstairs for a “ River Rat ” and he answered my prayers .
We met at an annual beach party where I was there with friends , and he was there to celebrate his friend ’ s bachelor party . Through mutual friends I was invited to the wedding reception a month later . He must of liked my dance moves because somehow he got my number from someone and messaged me the next day .
We ended up at several events through the fall and winter that were the same because of mutal friends while getting to know each other . Our favorite dates included being on the river , sometimes until the sun came up just to take a power nap and do it all over again with our friends . We love to boat , fish , hunt , and just have a great time with friends and family .
After 6 years of dating , Kyle proposed New Years Eve 2021 while fishing ! Definitely our best fishing trip yet . Kyle is the catch of a lifetime . We have the most amazing family and friends who helped make our day the most amazing day of our lives .
