Irvin and Kat met during Kats freshman year of high school and quickly became best friends. Though they both secretly had feelings for each other, neither knew how to say it. Instead, they spent their high school years going on "best friend dates," attending prom together, and always having fun. Kat joined the marching band’s color guard just to spend more time with Irvin, and he even gave Winterguard a try to spend more time with her. Despite their closeness, life took them in different directions. Kat went off to college in Sonoma, while Irvin stayed in Escondido. But no matter the distance, they always kept in touch, sharing stories and catching up every time she came home for a break. One day, Irvin asked Kat to a wedding. Excited, she thought he was finally asking her on a date only to find out he was actually working the wedding! Later, they both began bartending at a wedding venue and planned a camping trip. Under the stars, after one too many drinks, Irvin finally kissed her. That night, they talked about their relationship and decided to take a leap of faith. The past ten years haven’t always been easy, but their foundation of friendship, love, and communication has carried them through. From traveling the world to supporting each other through life's ups and downs, they have built a love that is strong, adventurous, and full of laughter. Now, they’re ready to take the next big step—marriage! With joy in their hearts, they look forward to merging not just their lives, but their names, and building a beautiful future together. They can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
