we’re getting married!

Wade and Cait first crossed paths in the most unexpected of ways—at the height of COVID in 2020, during a barn party that just so happened to be at Wade’s house. A mutual friend led Cait there, and when the two finally met, their introduction was just as memorable as the moment itself—Cait, perhaps a little nervous, extended her left hand for a handshake. Awkward? Definitely. But also the perfect beginning to a story that proves the best connections often start with a laugh. A few days later, Cait reached out to keep the conversation going. It didn’t take long for Wade to realize he wanted more than just a friendship, and soon Cait was asking her parents if a boy could come visit—even though he lived a state away. That leap of faith set everything in motion, and what began with a quirky handshake quickly grew into something real and lasting. The rest, as they say, is history.
