Save the date October 2, 2021

Our "meet cute" was coordinated by Kate's roommate Erica and Mike's friend Bob at a party. Mike won Kate over with his sense of humor and we have been inseparable ever since.

It was an unseasonably warm January day and we decided to take advantage and go for a hike along the Helderberg Escarpment. As we were getting ready to go Mike became critical of the jacket Kate was wearing, and suggested that she maybe wear something else. Kate resisted saying "what is wrong with my coat, its just a hike?". It was unusually crowded, and quite muddy, and the dogs were having a blast. On our way back to the car we were crossing over a wooden bridge by a waterfall and Mike asked Kate if she wanted a photo with the two dogs. Obviously she did, so she got down to take a photo with the dogs and Mike got on one knee to take the photo. Once the photo was taken Kate stood up, but Mike stayed down on one knee and pulled out the ring. Kate immediately said yes! She then realized why he was suggesting a different coat, photos!!

While COVID changed a lot for everyone and put quite the damper on our 2020 wedding plans, we decided to make the best of it and made the last minute decision to elope on May 14, 2020. Please go to our "We Eloped" page to see photos from our day. We are so excited to celebrate with all of you this fall!
