How We Met

Both Kyle and Erin grew up in Santa Barbara, California. Their parents were good friends, Kyle played basketball with Erin's brother John, and Erin was in a charity group with Kyle's sisters, Delaney and Addison, but Kyle and Erin never got to know each other too well. In 2016, at a USC invite in Las Vegas, Kyle and Erin found themselves in the same place at the same time, albeit with different dates. They struck up a conversation, sharing a few laughs and stories. Little did they know, this chance encounter would lay the foundation for their future. Flash forward to 2020, when Erin and Kyle's younger sister, Delaney, found themselves spending more time together as they often joined their moms on Saturday morning walks. Around the same time, Kyle was planning a trip with a few buddies to Denver, Colorado, in search of a new adventure. Delaney mentioned to Kyle that Erin was living out in Denver and he saw an opportunity to ask his sister to help play matchmaker. Delaney slid into Erin's Instagram DMs, asking for her number and suggesting she text Kyle to help him plan his Denver stay. Erin and Kyle began chatting, sharing recommendations and tips for Kyle's upcoming Denver escapade, but little did Erin know Kyle already had his whole trip planned. When Kyle finally arrived in Denver, he and his friends met up with Erin and her friends on his very first night in town. They bonded over their shared love of skiing, dogs, country music and Stillwater, Oklahoma, where they both have family. Luckily they aren't related, as the sparks were undeniable, and their connection was electric. Just a month later, they made their relationship official, and they haven't looked back since. Kyle and Erin lived across the street from each other in Santa Monica the next year of dating and then in August of 2022 moved back to Denver together. Exactly a year to the day that they moved in together, Kyle proposed to Erin in the mountains of Boulder (with their dog, Cali, of course) with nearly all of their friends and family waiting to surprise her back in Denver. Now, they can't wait to celebrate their love surrounded by all their favorite people next July in Santa Barbara!
