We have two fabulous weddings this week, one of which is the wedding of Ashley and Kyle who are getting married this weekend. You can just tell by the photo alone that these two are a perfect fit! Such a cute couple. Ashley and Kyle have graciously agreed to be spotlighted, so enjoy this couple's love story below!
How did you meet?
Kyle was my brother's companion on his mission in Guadalajara,
Mexico. When Kyle and some other mission friends were about to come
home, my brother told them to visit his family once they got back. They
came over one night, but my family was on a trip to Park City. They
called us and told us that they were there, and we almost told them that
we wouldn't be able to see them that night, but decided to cut out trip
short and meet them. It was a good thing we did... we began dating
after that night and were engaged a few months later!
What is a unique aspect of your relationship?
One unique thing about our relationship is that Kyle and I are both
very quiet people. I am sometimes surprised we were able to make it
through our first few dates, but now we can't stop talking when we are
together!
Tell us about your favorite date.
Around Christmas time, we rode
the Heber Valley train to a big tubing hill. After tubing for a few
hours, we went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Park City.
Afterwards, we drove home and opened each others Christmas gifts and
watched Christmas movies.
What are your favorite qualities about each other?
Ashley: One of
Kyle's best qualities is his sense of humor. He is always making me
laugh with his jokes and the things that he says. I also love that he is
good at almost everything he tries to do. He surprises me all the time
with how well he is able to accomplish things that he has never tried
before. He is very smart and can figure out anything he puts his mind
to. He is also very neat and organized. This is helpful to me because I
am always making a mess and he's always there to help me clean it up.
However, my very favorite quality that Kyle has is how much he cares for
other people and how he never talks badly about others. He is very
thoughtful and a great example to me!
Kyle:
Ashley is the best person I know! She has so many great qualities it is
hard to just name a couple. I love how she always laughs at my dumb
jokes and always has a big smile on her face. It always brightens my
day to hear her laugh and see her smile. I also love how positive she
is. She hardly ever gets down and if she does it's for about two
seconds. She always encourages me and helps me know that everything
will be alright. Another great quality about her is how much she thinks
about others. She is always thinking about her family and how she can
help them in their day to day activities. Last, I love how kind and
friendly she is to everyone. She always makes me want to be a better
person and makes me love life more and more every day.
Where are you going on your honeymoon?
We are going on a cruise to Mexico and will be stopping in Cabo and
Puerto Vallarta. I've never been to Mexico and Kyle's excited to go
back!
How did he propose?
We drove up to Brighton ski resort to
go snowboarding that evening after school. We had already picked the
ring out the week earlier, so I was expecting the proposal sometime, but
not quite so soon. We got to the resort and started to put all of our
snow stuff on. I put my foot in my snow boot and felt the ring box at
the bottom. I took out the ring box and opened it, expecting to find a
ring. It wasn't in there, and he tried to convince me that he had
forgotten it. Just when I was starting to believe him, he said "Oh,
what's this behind your ear?", and pulled out the ring. We laughed and I
was very relieved that he hadn't really lost it. He then bent down on
one knee and asked me to marry him. It was perfect and unexpected!
