Our Story
A friendship that started many years ago, the two developed a strong relationship working with their peers in ministry and their local community. While working together on a project, Curt reached out to Kaliyah and suggested the two, “hang out outside of work,” to which she happily replied, “Sure…that could be nice.”
After canceling on him because it was raining. The two shared a few tacos and plantains a week later, and have been inseparable. Sharing similar tastes in food, interests, family traditions, goals and love for Starbucks runs the two have cultivated a beautiful partnership. Last year, Curt proposed to Kaliyah and asked her to be his wife. To which, after many tears and confused expressions, she replied, “YES.”
This union marks the beginning of many beginnings, prosperity, and more tacos for Curt and Kaliyah.
After many years together, we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you, this coming year. We are honored that you have chosen to witness this love.
