Kari and Kevin met through a mutual friend a couple of years before actually dating. They went out as friends to a happy hour that they joke just never ended. Kevin and Kari always had senses of humor that connected, but it wasn't until a couple of years including other relationships passed that they realized how deeply they actually connected. Kari says of Kevin, "I have never met anyone more thoughtful, romantic, hard-working, sweet, smart, and obviously hilarious. I fell hard and fast. He challenged me and made me a better version of myself than I knew could exist. It is easy to say he is my best friend, because he is, but he is so much more than that. He is my rock, my cheerleader, my other half, and the reason I want to live as long as possible and make healthy choices- so I can get every possible moment and have every possible experience with him. My only regret was not finding and loving him sooner."

Kevin says of Kari, "Several times throughout our friendship I remember wishing she was single because she was in a long term relationship so I never thought I had a chance. Her sense of humor, sarcasm and zest for life have always drawn me to her and still do to this day. Our relationship has grown in ways I could’ve never imagined. The way we push each other to be better people but yet still have all the fun in the world is truly amazing. To go through life with your best friend and laugh all along the way is the best way to live and I know I’ll have that forever with Kari."

Special thanks to the amazing team of vendors who brought this day together!
