Sean and Katie met at a Memorial Day cookout in 2019 through mutual friends (shoutout to Maid of honor, Ashli and Best Man, Steve). They were instantly drawn to each other but nothing came of it. They saw each other at parties and Patriots games over the next few months and always just clicked while hanging out. Sean finally asked Katie out after seeing her for the first time since the pandemic hit at a Memorial Day cookout in 2020. They have been pretty much inseparable ever since.
Summer is always a crazy time for everyone so Sean and Katie decided to host a cookout at their house with their parents and a few friends. They spent all week getting the house put together and setting up the yard in case it rained. Sean was working extra hard and clearly planning some things in the background to make sure it was perfect. The day came and the rain in the forecast went away! On a hot and humid day in June, Sean thanked everyone for coming to the cookout and got down on one knee to ask Katie to spend forever with him. Obviously she said yes! With everyone celebrating, the surprises weren't done. Just after the proposal, Sean's sister, Kasey, surprised him all the way from North Carolina! It was a great day filled with surprises and excitement!
