Kai and Anna met on the first day of high school in September 2014. Slowly becoming better friends throughout the years, Kai decided to ask Anna to their Junior Prom in March 2017. Just a few months later, the two decided to take it one step further and go on a date, making their relationship official on May 20, 2017. The theme of their Junior Prom was “La Vie en Rose” and ever since, the couple has a special place in their hearts for Louis Armstrong’s “La Vie en Rose” and the color pink! When Kai proposed to Anna on May 16, 2024, they agreed that night that their wedding must be themed "La Vie en Rose." Look out for pinks and roses at the wedding!
