Chris and Katie briefly worked together when Katie moved to DC. Katie lost her work key fob every other day and had to visit Chris for new key fobs. They began emailing each other during work hours and then eventually went out for some drinks, and the rest is history.
Chris and Katie went for a weekend trip to Hot Springs, NC. Once they hiked to the top of Max Patch on the Appellation trail, Chris pulled out a ring. Katie could not hear what Chris was saying as it was very windy, but she saw the ring and said, "Yes!!!"
