We are so excited to FINALLY become Mr. & Mrs.!

Katelyn had just spent the whole day visiting Missouri State's campus as a potential college, after all, she was only 17! That night, like so many, she and her cousin, Alys, decided to hang out. Seeing as it was just a relaxed girls night, Katelyn tossed her hair up on the top of her head, washed the day off her face, and threw on a tshirt and basketball shorts. Definitely not expecting to meet the love of her life that night! While watching TV, Alys asked Katelyn "Would you like to go over to Larissa's house (a mutual friend) to meet her new boyfriend?" Seeing as there was nothing else to do, they hopped in the car, and drove right on over. Alys and Katelyn pulled up, and walked inside. Then walked in Larissa's new boyfriend, Brett, and his best friend... JUSTIN! Katelyn was immediately blown away by this striking, older man (The whopping mature age of 18) in his black tshirt and white Adidas pants. I pulled Alys and Larissa aside... "Who is THAT?!" "Oh, that's Justin!" "Dannnngggg!! He's cute! But he's way out of my league! Plus, look at me!" We stayed only for a little bit and that was the end of the night. Little did Katelyn know, Justin was having the same reaction with Brett. As a few weeks went by, Justin and Katelyn continued to find reasons to be in the same places with their mutual friends. Whether it was at the local Steak n Shake, or a small get together at someone's house. Eventually, Justin asked Katelyn out to a movie and ended the night with their first kiss on August 19, 2006. 14 years later... And here we are!
