We met in the spring of 2013 first as coworkers, then roommates, and quickly, best friends. What began as an easy, undeniable connection quietly grew into something deeper. When Cristen moved back to Texas, Kayt was left holding a truth she could no longer ignore. Naming that truth came at a cost - fear, grief, and being told that loving this way meant condemnation rather than grace. For a long time we were balancing two things - survival meant denial, yet healing meant honesty.

Through time and distance, the day finally came when Kayt opened the proverbial can of worms and we haven’t looked back since. Now, friends for thirteen years, officially together for ten, and engaged for one, we find ourselves settling into a reality neither of us once believed was meant for us: choosing each other openly, joyfully, and without apology. Making it officially official.

We balance each other with lots of laughter, talking and sharing and processing and more talking😆, getting lost in movies and tv series with Coco Capelo Loki Claire, and date nights (thank you Oli & LJ for this inspiration). We remain in awe of this journey not because it was easy, but because it was true, kismet, and filled with magic. We are taking this moment to celebrate a love built through patience, resilience, and deep knowing, alongside the people who have walked with us, supported us, and believed in us along the way.
