We met in 2008 on a Six Flags trip with our friends (3 of whom are in our wedding party!). We hit it off, and over the next few years during college up in New England we stayed in touch through Facebook messages or randomly running into each other back in Kyle & Buda. Finally both back in Austin, we had our first date October 2013, playing pong. Catherine's lack of skills and Connor's love of the game didn't deter either of us. After numerous other games of pong (Catherine's now much better), adopting 2 dogs, 2 cats, and some fish, buying a house, many trips local and abroad, some nail-biting Tottenham & Austin FC games, and lots of beer and wine and home cooked meals, Connor proposed February 2, 2020 at our house as we were listening to records after a night out. We can't wait to see all our friends and family as we celebrate continuing this for the rest of our lives.
