"Hi Katie! Are you Fr. Chris Smith's sister?" This was the Facebook message that Katie received on a Monday afternoon from a random Spanish man named Adrian. Adrian had just moved to Dallas one month before, and he had noticed Katie and her "cute photo" online through mutual friends. As the Holy Spirit would have it, after messaging Katie, Adrian realized she had already messaged him on the dating app, Catholic Match. The two messaged each other on the same day, not knowing the other one had reached out. After some days of messaging, Adrian asked Katie out on a coffee date, and the two soon realized they shared a passion for Jesus, people, and being silly together. The handsome Spaniard and the beautiful Texan enjoyed time together and started to realize how much of a gift from God they were for each other. For Christmas 2022, Adrian took Katie to his home in Madrid, Spain to spend quality time with his family. Because Katie's family had already planned a pilgrimage to the Holy Land over the holidays, the next stop on the trip was Israel. On January 1, 2023, the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, Adrian proposed to Katie in the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth. For both Katie and Adrian, this was an incredibly special moment. They are grateful to God and their community for all of the love and support as they prepare for the adventure of marriage!
