I opened it up and, instead of a toy, there was an engagement ring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The pair married at their romantic wedding on November 2, 2019. &#8220;We had Kinder Surprises <a

story&#8217;,&#8221; says the bride. &#8220;It was just a nice way to include all of our family and friends to become a part of our story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a
