Kayla Merkel-Greene saved one last surprise for her groom. Moments after they said “I do” in Windsor, Ohio, she pulled Scott aside to confess a secret she’d hidden for months-permanently etched inside her lower lip.
The Big Reveal
Photographer Aisley Herndon captured the scene as Kayla, 28, lowered her lip to reveal the word “Biscuits.” Scott, 30, burst out laughing and yelled, “Oh, my God! You are s——- me!” Guests cheered while his expression shifted from nerves to pure delight.
Kayla told News Of Los Angeles:
> “He still tells me to this day he had absolutely no idea.”
Planning the Prank
- Originally considered Scott’s last name, “Greene”
- Switched to inside joke after realizing “Biscuits” would make him laugh harder
- Chose Lonesome Rose Tattoo Parlor during bachelorette trip
- Let an apprentice practice the quick inner-lip job
The nickname dates back to Scott’s middle-school days when friends dubbed him “Scotty Biscuits.” It stuck so firmly that it became his Xbox gamertag and is stitched onto his baseball glove.
A 12-Year Love Story
The couple met through mutual friends at ages 15 and 17. After nine months of Scott’s persistence, Kayla agreed to date him. They got engaged under the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse in Lorain, Ohio.
