Both attending Texas State University, Katie and Jeremy spent a lot of their college days working at HEB. In July of 2012, Katie moved over to the small HEB in San Marcos, where their story together would begin. She had to work a closing shift on her first day at the new store. As soon as Jeremy saw Katie, he switched shifts to close too - this, as many knew was very strange since Jeremy would always try to give up hours to go home and "study" very hard... Katie noticed Jeremy for his ancient iPhone 3G phone when he attempted to take a selfie by pointing the back-facing camera towards him and Katie and guessing where the button was on the front of the screen. Katie proceeded to make fun of him for it. Hanging out with a similar friend circle, Katie and Jeremy slowly got to know each other as friends first, despite Jeremy's many attempts at asking Katie out from the first night. About a year later, Katie gave Jeremy a chance for a date and made him Pho. Jeremy was so nervous that he didn't show up - his nerves got to him, and he was sick to his stomach! Giving it another shot, they became best friends, each other's biggest cheerleaders, and eventually soulmates!

Right after moving across the country to Seattle, Washington, on January 20th 2019, Jeremy and Katie planned to hike Twin Falls Trailhead for a picnic and some scenic views. The night before the hike Katie wanted to go thrift store shopping in the new and exciting city. Jeremy, an avid hater of thrifting, saw it as the perfect opportunity to peel away to call Mr. Bernal to ask for his permission since the two had been inseparable since her move to the new city. After a few heartfelt words and her father's approval, it was go-time. Jeremy was anxiously looking for the perfect spot off the trail to host their lunch and the big moment. They walked to the end of the trail and made their way back. Once confirming it was the perfect boulder, Jeremy nervously said, "This spot should do it!" They stopped at this large boulder overlooking the river, falls, and lagoon below to have a picnic and where Jeremy would end up popping the question. Jeremy really has no idea what he said after the moment passed, but he knew as soon he spoke the first sentence Katie knew what was going to happen. Apparently he was being way more serious than normal, which gave it away! Katie burst out in tears with "It's about time!" and here we are today. Mr. Bernal was sure to let the rest of the family know that he already knew it was coming!
