As restrictions started to lift in late 2020, MacKenzie and Kyle spent 3+ hours talking at an Arkansas bar and it was all thanks to finding each other on a dating app and realizing they shared a mutual love for the Chiefs.

After a couple months, MacKenzie decided it was time to tell her friends and family about Kyle, while it took him a bit longer… As in, he told his mom about MacKenzie just days before he took her home to Fort Smith for the first time.

By August of 2021, Kyle had moved in with MacKenzie and her adorable pup, Yazzy, and they enjoyed their last bit of time in Arkansas as a new family of three. In November, they packed up and moved to MacKenzie’s hometown of Kansas City, where they bought their first home together and adopted their second precious pup, Yadi.

On September 2, 2023, Kyle proposed to MacKenzie in front of the green fountains at the KC Irish Fest (aka MacKenzie's favorite weekend of the year). He followed it up with a surprise brunch with some of their favorite people to celebrate.

Over the last three years, they’ve filled their time with Chiefs games, career changes, home projects, new business ventures, festivals, dogs, laughs, love, and an abundance of craft beer. Now they couldn’t be more ready for their biggest and best adventure yet: becoming the Peters!
