MEET ME IN THE DESERT | 3.23.25

There's a theory that the universe has unbreakable, invisible strings that tie us to the people we’re destined to meet regardless of time, distance or circumstance. For Katie and Adam, those strings stretched across state lines, career milestones & conferences and thousands of phone calls, pulling them closer every time. Their story all started the day Katie got promoted to the Southwest team at BD... the company they both worked at... and moved to Tucson, Arizona and met Adam at that first district meeting in the lobby of that Marriott in Scottsdale, where Adam first dubbed her “Miss Katie". And somehow, what started as fun nicknames and work texts quickly became a bond that neither distance nor time could break. Adam’s friends call him “Ice Cold”—a nickname that captures his bold personality and energy. Miss Katie, with her Midwest values and Sooner spark, was his perfect match, forming a connection even a thousand miles couldn’t shake. From rooftops in Venice to hotels under the Eiffel Tower, nine-hour calls and hundreds of flights later, those strings kept pulling them closer together. Finally, on a boat during an epic Cabo sunset, Adam got on one knee, popped the question and Katie said yes to tying those strings together forever. Now, they’re ready to say “I do” in a place that feels like home—the Arizona desert. With sunshine, Saguaros, disco balls and desert, warm hues, it’s the perfect setting to celebrate the story that brought them here. So grab your dancing shoes, put on your best desert chic and get ready to celebrate under the stars—an unforgettable beginning to Adam & Katie's next chapter.
