Brad and Katie met during their Sophomore Year at Notre Dame while, despite both being engineering majors, they were both enrolled in the same English class. Brad thought he recognized Katie from his other classes and found the courage to ask her if she was, in fact, a Chemical Engineer. The two quickly became study-partners and good friends. A little over a year later as they got to know each other better, Brad asked Katie on their first date and they've been together ever since. While on campus, Katie and Brad could always be found eating breakfast together at North Dining Hall, planning their next road-trip, or walking around their favorite quiet spot on campus, Jordan Hall of Science for hours on end. Since graduating, Katie and Brad frequent the non-stop flights between Kansas City and Milwaukee, still love planning new adventures together (they just marked off their 37th state and 10th country together!), and always look for an excuse to go back to their alma mater and walk around campus again. On November 1, 2019, Katie and Brad drove out to Notre Dame to cheer on the Irish for a football game. On their way in, Brad insisted that they stop by campus to walk around before the craziness of Football Saturday. As they pulled up to the parking lot, Brad asked Katie if she'd like a snack for the walk. He pulled out a bag of Katie's favorite pretzels from every Texan's favorite location, Buc-ee's. Much to Katie's surprise, Brad had flown down to Texas a month prior and asked her dad for his blessing to marry his daughter. While in Texas, Brad picked up a bag of pretzels to prove he had travelled all the way to her home to talk to her dad. Instantly, Katie caught on to Brad's plans for this special evening and walked with Brad to Jordan Hall of Science, where Brad popped the question!
