Like many great love stories in the digital age, ours began online—powered by apps, algorithms, and maybe a little bit of fate (or at least a good dad joke to break the ice). Cory was living in Ohio, Katie was in Arizona, and neither of us expected a random swipe to turn into a cross-country romance. But here we are! For two years, we did the long-distance thing—racking up airline miles, memorizing TSA lines, and becoming very familiar with the Phoenix and Cleveland airport terminals. From weekend adventures to late-night FaceTimes, we made the distance work and fell in love one plane ticket at a time. In 2021, Cory made the biggest move of all—not just across the country, but toward a life we’d dreamed of building together. Since then, we’ve created a life full of love, laughter, and a little chaos—thanks to our three dogs, who now run the show. We spend our days going on hikes (sometimes with all three dogs—send help), discovering new coffee shops and bookstores, and soaking in both the big adventures and the small, everyday moments. Now, after years of flights, FaceTimes, and fur babies, we’re ready to say “I do”—and we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
