We’ve known each other for as long as we can remember. Growing up, we spent our days riding bikes around the neighborhood, playing tag with friends, and staying outside until the streetlights came on. Back then, we were just kids having fun and making memories, never imagining that one day we’d end up building a life together.

Years later, life brought us back together in an unexpected way. In 2015, a simple knock at the door turned into a conversation, and that conversation turned into a friendship that quickly became something more. As we got to know each other, we realized there was something special between us. On October 22, 2016, we officially started dating, beginning a journey that would change both of our lives forever.

One of our favorite traditions has always been visiting the pumpkin patch every fall. On October 22, 2021, what seemed like another annual trip became one of the most important days of our lives. Surrounded by our family, colorful autumn leaves, and the crisp fall air we both love, Frankie got down on one knee and asked Caty to marry him.

Coming up on our tenth anniversary together, we will finally be getting married. Something we have been waiting a long time for. We are so excited to celebrate the start of the next chapter of our story with all of the people we love most. Thank you for being part of our journey and for joining us as we begin this new adventure as husband and wife. We can’t wait to celebrate with you on October 22, 2026.
