We found love in a hopeless place. Katie and Chris met during residency working on the general medicine wards at Penn Presbyterian Hospital in Philadelphia. After working together for two grueling weeks, Chris asked Katie out for drinks. Katie readily accepted, but she ended up working late and was over an hour late to their first date! Luckily, Chris waited patiently and they both had a great time. City of Brotherly Love Katie and Chris fell in love and cemented their relationship over the next several years in Philadelphia. They supported each other through challenging residency training programs, discovered shared a love of food and travel, and even took up a new hobby, running, together! During their years together in Philadelphia, they traveled around the country and the world with highlights including trips to Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany, Holbox Island in Mexico, and Cartagena, Colombia. They started running together, finding peace and joy running along the banks of the Schuylkill river and ran the Philadelphia half marathon together twice! In Philadelphia, they lived together in a town home with a stunning roof deck view of the Philadelphia skyline. Hosting rooftop BBQs and crab boils was one of highlights of their life together in Philadelphia. New City, New Adventure When Chris graduated from his anesthesia residency in the summer of 2019, Katie and Chris moved to Houston together to start new jobs and a new adventure, but not before spending a month travelling Europe together. They swam daily in the Adriatic Sea off the Coast of Croatia, got lost in the winding alleys of Venice, were blown away by the views of Lake Como, and ate all the tapas in Barcelona. Together in Houston, they are settling into new jobs and enjoying life near the Gulf. Shortly after moving to Houston, they purchased Brandy, a 33 foot sailboat, and have been spending every moment possible sailing and enjoying the sea breeze.

Last fall, Katie and Chris formalized their commitment to each other in an intimate ceremony at the Houston Yacht Club. Peter, Chris's brother, officiated the wedding ceremony on the club's lawn under a clear blue sky in the presence of the couple's immediate family. Many friends all over the world joined the couple virtually by watching the live stream of the ceremony.
