Love Story Short

We met at Wichita State as Resident Assistants over 8 years ago. Fell hard and fast and have been together ever since. From coworkers to college sweethearts, classmates to roommates and long-distance to lockdown buddies, we’ve been through a lot. We can’t wait to see where life takes us from here.

Our first concert together John Mayer in Wichita, Dec. 2013. Meg’s absolute favorite artist at the time. Blake debated whether it was too early in the relationship to buy tickets as a birthday gift. Turns out Meg’s dad gifted us tickets f

Blake’s first birthday cake from Meg. The first of many. Not pictured: the surprise party she and their coworkers threw. Hastily taken moments before the surprise. #megsandblacon
Once we got approval from higher ups, we kept the relationship secret from residents and fellow staff. Being RAs, our customers, coworkers and bosses were also our neighbors. We agreed that whatever this was, it was best kept out of the rumor mill.

Kyle works as a P.E. teacher and Wrestling Coach at Wichita South in Wichita, KS. In his spare time, he enjoys playing golf, cheering on the Broncos and indoctrinating his daughter, Lilly, into the pro-wrestling fandom. His flex? “I doubt anyone could beat me in a game of jeopardy.”

GROOMSMAN • BLAKE’S LITTLE BROTHER
Brady works as a Custom Crate Tech at Advanced Packaging & Shipping Solutions in Wichita, KS. In his spare time, he checks out car shows and loves to use his new smoker.

Kennedy is a Sophomore at Fort Hays State University currently studying Radiology. In her spare time, she enjoys hanging out with friends, watching Netflix and being a cat mom. Her one-word goal for 2022? Travel. Which pairs perfectly with her secret superpower: aux master extraordinaire.

Hayden currently works for DMR Construction in Wichita, KS. In between workouts and playing disc golf, he enjoys watching sports, keeping up with Oklahoma State football and spending time with his long-time girlfriend, Brylee.

Lilly Molina

RING BEARER • BLAKE’S NIECE • KYLE’S DAUGHTER 
Two and a half year old Lilly is shy around new folks but enjoys dancing, singing and playing with her 3 dogs at home.
