Eddie, the Best Man, introduced Katie and David at Country Jam in 2014. Eddie, being the cool friend, purchased a beer for Katie, which lead to undercover police interrogating Katie and asking for ID. David, being underage, excused himself from the situation and enjoyed the rest of his weekend, while Katie had to go home early.

Katie matched with David on Bumble (the dating app), and initiated the conversation with a lame gif. David responded with a very lame gif, and Katie responded once more with an even lamer gif. Thus, putting their love on hold...

Katie and David enjoy time with friends and consuming adult beverages in non-standard fashions. After joining a beer-in-hand kickball league, they finally had time to get to know each other and David finally asked Katie on a date. The rest is history.

Katie, David, and his family were getting ready to depart on their trip to Italy. Knowing that Katie would think that David would be proposing in the place she loves the most, David knew he had to surprise her some other way. David crafted a plan with Katie's parents to go "fly fishing" in Vail to celebrate her Dad's birthday, the day before the Italy trip. On the way up to Vail, Katie anxiously asks David, "So, when are we going to get engaged?" Little did she know, David had the ring in his pocket the whole time. David calmly replied with, "within the year..." and Katie lit up with joy. Once we got to Vail, David took Katie on a walk to kill some time, as we were early for "fly fishing." They ended up at the Betty Ford gardens, where David got down on one knee and asked the most important question of his life. After Katie obviously said, "Yes!!!" all of our family and friends helped us celebrate our new engagement.
