How It All Began
Kevin and Chloé’s love story started in the most heartwarming way—at church. One Easter Sunday, Kevin greeted Chloé and her sister as they arrived, and for Chloé, it was love at first sight. Though she didn’t see him for the rest of the service, fate had other plans. She later realized she was already following Kevin on social media, which gave them the perfect opportunity to reconnect. From there, history was made!
