Kaitlan and AJ’s story began during their senior year of high school when they met at a party. What started as casual conversation quickly turned into a great friendship, and within a few months, they decided to give their relationship a shot and started dating 2 weeks before heading off to college. After a year of long-distance filled with road trips and bus rides, Kaitlan chose to transfer to UF, joining AJ as a member of Gator Nation. Their love grew stronger through late-night study sessions and adventures around Gainesville. When the COVID-19 pandemic turned the world upside down, they found joy in the little things, like adding two adorable pups, Kylo and Cooper, to their family—who quickly became the center of their world. Graduating together was just the start of their next adventure. Back in Miami, Kaitlan immersed herself in studying for the MCAT, while AJ did the same with the LSAT, each pushing forward on their path toward becoming a doctor and a lawyer. Amid the whirlwind of tests, applications, and interviews, they both found their way to the University of Miami, supporting each other every step of the way. After seven wonderful years together, AJ knew it was time to ask Kaitlan to spend the rest of her life with him. In a heartfelt surprise, AJ proposed to Kaitlan at the Cheekwood Botanical Gardens in Nashville, TN surrounded by family and close friends. Their time together has been filled with Saturday brunches, late-night cookie making, dog snuggles, and a whole lot of laughter and love. Ready for their next chapter, they’re thrilled to celebrate their wedding day with all the people who have been part of their incredible journey. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
