Chris and Katey met all the way back in their high school days, where they would awkwardly flirt with each other but they were too nerdy to realize what was in front of them! From Katey following Chris around to all of his wrestling matches, to them finding firewood together at Katey’s sweet 16 birthday, to an impromptu slow dance to Boyz II Men at Homecoming, it seemed to be the quintessential “right person, wrong time”. It would be some years before they reconnected. But, boy, did it ever connect! Chris’ career had him based in Alaska while Katey was still in New York. The distance was hard, but they took every opportunity to see each other. FaceTime date nights, trips to Universal Studios, and flying transcontinentally multiple times! This brings us to the most exciting part of the story so far: bringing baby Peter into the world! Once they found out they were expecting, Katey faced her morning sickness head on and flew back to Alaska one last time where they started their voyage from Fairbanks back to Buffalo. On the trip back to Buffalo, they saw some amazing sites and did some incredible things! Traveling through The Yukon, seeing the Northern Rocky Mountains, visiting Banff and Jasper National Park, to name a few. During this trip, Chris pulled the ultimate “gotcha” on Katey and proposed to her on top of a mountain while visiting an elk and bison range! Of course it was the easiest “yes” ever! Chris and Katey continued their travels and after a lot of hotel stays, house rentals, property buying and home buying, they’ve landed in Pennsylvania, enjoying every moment with Peter, and Bruce, of course! They are so excited to celebrate their love with all of their friends and family! Thank you all for being a part of their story!
