Ten years ago, Kevin was in a dark place. The 17-year-old “fell hard into depression” and planned to take his own life.

Suddenly, his phone rang - but even he couldn’t have known that the woman calling would be his future wife.

 “She made me promise to call her the next day, and we hung up,” he wrote. “That night I started writing the words which, ten years later, I'd propose with.”

The two didn’t initially become a couple, but maintained a close friendship after their emotional moment. Things fell into place when Blake broke up with an ex and Kevin confessed his real feelings. Kevin proposed in April 2016, and they married that September.
