It was Katie's first day at UW Oshkosh when she met Tom in their French Horn studio. He invited her to join a concert promotion club, and that was the start of their friendship! Over the next two years, they organized countless concert series together and spent many late nights at Perkins, studying, drinking coffee, and eating pancakes until 2 a.m. Tom helped Katie tackle her dreaded music theory assignments, while she kept him company as he edited videos and wrote papers for his film classes. In May of 2016, a few years later, Katie and Tom finally admitted they had feelings for each other (with the help of a little liquid courage, of course!). That summer, Tom took a radio internship in Alaska. Despite the distance, they made it work: Katie stayed up until 2 a.m. multiple times a week so they could video chat during his radio show breaks. When the internship ended, Tom met Katie in San Francisco for a quick trip after their long three months apart. Fast forward a few more moves around Wisconsin together. In March 2021, during a trip to Alaska and Colorado, Tom proposed on top of "The Old Woman" mountain in Alaska. Almost immediately after the proposal, Tom accepted a job in Nashville, Tennessee, and the two packed up and moved down south. It was quite the adventure, not only did they buy their first home in TN... but they welcomed beautiful Lucie into the world! After 2 years, it was time to move back. As of November 2024, they bought a house in the Cudahy/South Milwaukee area that will be a beautiful place to settle in as a family. Now it’s finally time to celebrate their love and commitment. To our family and friends who have unconditionally supported us along the way, thank you! We’re so happy you are here to celebrate with us as we say “I do” to forever.
