Our Story

Kendall (“KL”) and Elizabeth (“Flake”) met on October 21, 2012 at their friend Shaun’s house . Elizabeth was working at Underground Printing in Chapel Hill (she graduated UNC in 2011!) and Kendall was a senior at UNC. Everyone used to go to Shaun’s to hang out, so Elizabeth headed there after work that day. Kendall was also at Shaun’s and while he didn’t say much, he did let her know she had never followed him back on Twitter, so she gave him a follow.

On Halloween Elizabeth had taken mini dirt cakes and cupcakes to the store for friends to stop by and grab. Kendall dropped in for some dirt cake and they had their first real conversation. During homecoming a few weeks later, Kendall’s house was having lots of parties. Unfortuantely on Friday night, an aged, post-grad Elizabeth showed up to the party too early (like before anyone else) and chickened out on going in. Elizabeth’s friend Nika was in town through Monday morning, so they (along with Shaun) wanted to celebrate one last night of homecoming on Sunday evening. They headed to Kendall’s (there was apparently always a party there) and the four of them sat on the roof having drinks, laughing for hours.

Throughout the rest of the year Elizabeth and Kendall kept “running into each other” for various reasons, such as Kendall needing to buy his mom a shirt for Christmas. Over next few months they got to know each other better and the rest is history.

When Kendall graduated from UNC (2013) they both stayed in Chapel Hill. In 2015 they moved to their current home together (and Bella!) in Durham where they have hosted lots of parties and decorated for lots of holidays. They’ve also taken fun trips (favorites being London, New York, New Orleans, Charleston, Dominican Republic, and Jekyll Island, GA) and have gone to lots of Carolina games! GO HEELS!

Kendall proposed at their annual Christmas party on December 21, 2019 in front of most of their family and friends! It was a perfect Christmas proposal.
