Kate Vandervest

Sun Prairie, WI

How we met

We met in high school at one of Quinn Wilson’s pool parties where we were chicken-fight partners. We had known of each other before this because of our older sisters but had never talked before. We went on a few double dates that summer with Kaitlin & Michael, then started dating July 28th, 2014… the rest is history!

Our proposal

We were taking a 2 week trip to Italy (just because!) and Jesse proposed in Vernazza, a town part of Cinque Terre. We were on a hike, which is one of our favorite things to do together, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. Jesse says he wasn’t sure exactly when he wanted to propose on the trip, but that he knew he wanted to somewhere beautiful in Italy. When we were on the hike and saw the gorgeous town below us and Mediterranean Sea stretched out far in front of us, he knew it was the perfect spot to start our forever.
