"Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
— Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

A note from the future Mr. and Mrs. Vincent:
"While we have kept a very closed door on our relationship outside of a small group, we want to open the doors for you at this time. Because the world deserves to know that a love like this can exist and that every person deserves it if you are willing to grow for it. And if you do - well, the honeymoon phase never truly ends."



The Beginning
July 2024

Kyle and Meghan met, and while neither of them knew exactly where life would take them, something about each other felt different from the start. What began as a simple connection spread like a wildfire and instantly became something powerful, steady, real, and impossible to imagine life without.


The First Date
August 2, 2024

The morning of Kyle and Meghan’s first date, Meghan was in a nine-car pileup.

Understandably, by the end of that day, she was more than ready to cancel, put on pajamas, and pretend the outside world did not exist. But luckily, one of her girlfriends was in town and refused to let that happen. With the kind of loving force only a real friend can provide, she kicked Meghan into gear and practically threw her out the door.

And thank the Good Lord she did.

Because what started as a day Meghan almost wrote off entirely became the night that changed everything. Despite the chaos, the exhaustion, and the very reasonable urge to stay home, she did what she has become well-known for - she showed up.

And waiting on the other side...was Kyle - the gentle goofball that would end up sharing endless laughs and smiles with what he would soon realize was the love of his life.

Their first date was the beginning of what would become countless deep and thought provoking conversations, laughs, and moments of realizing just how naturally they fit into each other’s lives. What was supposed to be dinner at Meril's followed by a comedy show, turned into dinner at Meril's followed by a quiet bar where the laughter and company could continue to flow. What had been endless messages had instantly turned into easy banter and endless conversation. The two people who usually side-eye doors for exit strategies once their social batteries drain suddenly struggled to end the night. Both had other dates set up later in the week. Unbeknownst to the other, both cancelled those dates by the next morning.


Building a Life Together
September 2024

Some couples take their time. Most couples, really. Yet Kyle and Meghan steamrolled the timeline, accidentally choosing to follow what felt natural and right for them. Three weeks in, Kyle and Meghan - not realizing it for what it was at the time - began living together. From blending routines, to making a home, supporting each other through career demands, and navigating real-life chaos, Kyle and Meghan naturally fell into the ebb and flow of where they belonged all this time, together.

Planned? No.
Everyone in their lives, including themselves, confused? Absolutely.

But what began as accidental eventually revealed itself as something quietly intentional. From the beginning, home felt less like a place and more like each other. After long, grueling workdays, life felt calmer, lighter, and more enjoyable simply by being together.

To everyone else, it may have seemed completely outside of Kyle and Meghan’s normal way of doing things. But to them, it felt natural. What looked unexpected from the outside had already become home on the inside. Suddenly, explosive growth both personally and professionally was happening - because a foundation of love, encouragement, accountability, and drive had been created.


The First I Love You
Also September 2024

Kyle and Meghan have always loved weather — the drama of it, the power of it, the way nature can make everything else feel small for a moment.

So when a hurricane was rolling in, naturally, they went to the levee.

With the wind whipping around them, the sky shifting, and the two of them completely caught up in the force of the moment, Kyle looked at Meghan out of nowhere and said, “I love you.”

No grand setup. No rehearsed speech. Just Kyle, Meghan, the storm, and three words that somehow felt perfectly timed. Because apparently, when your love story already involves accidental moving in, questionable timelines, and a nine-car pileup before the first date, the first “I love you” might as well arrive with a hurricane.


Through It All, Together
2025–2026

As their relationship became more confident and the foundation cemented, life began to challenge Meghan and Kyle in ways they never could have expected so soon.

In a matter of months, they faced the kind of life events most couples hope not to experience within their first five years together — health challenges, emergency surgeries and recovery, the passing of their beloved Abbott, the passing of Meghan's father, inexplicable increases in familial responsibilities, and the kind of heavy emotional weight that changes who you are at the core.

From the outside, it may have looked like they were simply moving through everyday life. But behind the scenes, they were weathering one hurricane after another, learning what it really means to show up for each other when life is heavy, uncertain, and unfair. It was not always easy. In fact, parts of it felt like life was broken. But through every difficult moment, one thing became undeniable: Kyle and Meghan were not just building a life together. They were becoming each other’s safest place, being the strength when the other could not stand - if you know you know -, and showing each other that even when one only had 10% to give, they would give 100% of that 10%.
And somehow, through all of it, they came out stronger both individually and together.

This was the moment when the rest of their world truly realized - Meghan and Kyle were no average couple. They were a team in the truest sense — steady, stubborn, deeply loyal, and somehow still able to find laughter in the middle of the mess.

They were not just in love when life was easy. They were in love when life was heavy and broken. And that made all the difference.


The Proposal
March 13, 2026

Kyle had not only chosen Meghan — he had made a point to know and love the people who mattered most to her. He understood that asking Meghan to marry him was not just about a ring or a moment. It was about honoring the life, family, friendships, and future they were stepping into together. Somewhere along the way, Kyle and Meghan became more than partners. They became true best friends — the kind who still genuinely want to hang out with each other over anyone else. Most nights in their home end in the kind of laughter that is impossible to fake: belting, crying, stomach-hurting laughter over things that probably would bring their "adulting" status into question. They are weird in the same language, which is arguably one of the greatest gifts of all.

So when he asked, Meghan’s answer was the easiest one she had ever given. She was saying yes to the man who had become her calm, the person she admired most, her teammate, her safest place, her favorite smile and laugh, and her favorite person.
Yes to Kyle.
Yes to the life they had built.
Yes to the one they were still dreaming up.
Yes to every September Hurricane, every January Blizzard, every bright and sunny March Friday the 13th - and every day surrounding.
Yes to forever.


The Wedding
December 19, 2026

The day that Kyle and Meghan will become husband and wife. The best of friends, teammates, and co-captains of the Vincent Krewe de Two. Today they will be surrounded by the people who have loved them, supported them, laughed with them, and stood beside them through every chapter. After everything that brought them here — the chaos, the calm, the grief, the healing, the laughter, the love, and the life they have already begun building — they cannot wait to celebrate the start of forever with their favorite people.

Welcome to the wedding weekend.
Welcome to the party.
Welcome to the beginning of the Vincent Krewe de Two....plus two corgis.
