In 2017, Kate first got Chris’ attention at a church where they were both present to be god parents. Later that summer he saw her dancing at Folk Fest and mustered up the courage to follow her on instagram. To his surprise she followed him back. He decided to slide in her DM’s and wrote “Hey Kate! I saw you this past weekend and I thought you were super cute so I asked around about you. I should have met you in person but I didn't really get an opportunity to so here’s me trying to meet you lol. I’m Chris and I’m also super cute. We should hang out next time I’m in town and do cute things. :)”
