One day a group of friends who knew us believed that we would make the perfect couple and decided that we just had to meet. Wels kept hyping us up to each other, saying things like, “Yooooooo Kayan, I really think I found your husband” and “Caleb, this girl is the entire package” and we both responded, “Hahahaha let’s see!”.

After hearing about each other for about a week, the day finally came when we met each other at a game night on November 14th, 2022. Kayan walked in ready to eat and win, while Caleb was sitting quietly ready to meet this girl and see what would transpire. When they first met Caleb was taking his time to stand up hoping to greet Kayan with a hug, but she swiftly greeted him with a dab and said “Hey, what’s up man, nice to meet you”, and made a b-line for the food table. Caleb was stunned in his crouched position and thought to himself, “Yooooo this chick is bugging, but I’m intrigued”. As the game night went on, Kayan realized that Caleb was very strategic with his moves when swapping beans to build his agricultural empire in the game “Bohnanza”. Caleb realized Kayan was very passionate and competitive when finding matches with her 20/20 vision while playing “Spot it”. They both realized that they were having fun with each other and their friends the entire time. By the end of the night, Caleb wanted to ask Kayan for her number but she left as swiftly as she came. Being the resourceful person he is, Caleb asked Wels for Kayan’s number and texted her the next day.

From that day on, they have been texting, calling, and visiting each other for the past year. Caleb has been present and supportive of Kayan through her dissertation writing and defense, listening to her future career goals and dreams. Similarly, Kayan has been caring and encouraging through Caleb’s Optometric career especially with his recent private practice purchase. Caleb surprised Kayan (as he is prone to do) at her sister’s house with a Christmas Eve wedding proposal which she accepted. We are excited for you to join us this summer as we kick off the next phase of our lives together!
