In 2015, Caitlyn was accepted to Frostburg State University. About two years later in 2017, just after leaving the military, Stephen came up to visit an old friend and it was then that their paths crossed. Stephen and Caitlyn have been inseparable since. They shared their first date hiking to Swallow Falls in the rain. From traveling to 17 states and crossing the country via a road trip, these two have experienced quite a bit! They've enjoyed snow tubing, hiking, camping, visiting the empire state building, and even traveling to Caitlyn's past residence in both GA and TX! Throughout the years they have only grown closer to one another. Proposal April 15, 2022: Caitlyn and Stephen leave for camping in Gatlinburg, TN. They walk among the trees on sky bridges. Caitlyn walks along the bridge while Stephen snaps pictures and captures the moment with the ring. He then takes a 'selfie' with the ring, and once the polaroid printed out, Caitlyn had realized he was proposing. This was followed up with about 5 minutes of crying. They shared a weekend with family and close friends announcing their engagement the weekend of Caitlyn's birthday. With all of you here today, they would like to thank you for your support and unconditional love.
Our wedding date is set for the last weekend of horse racing season for northern Virginia, therefore hotels book up quickly. If you are planning to stay at a hotel close to the venue, please reserve your rooms promptly.
