Kaitlin and Garrett lived in the same apartment building their senior year at Iowa State University. They met in the hallway of their apartment building and hit it off right away!

Garrett proposed to Kaitlin at her aunt and uncle's lake house at Sun Valley Lake where she spent her summers growing up. Kaitlin had always dreamed of a proposal at the lake and Garrett made her proposal dream come true on September 1st, 2019! He proposed at sunset standing in the middle of candles shaped as a heart at the shoreside as family hid inside and got to celebrate with them afterwards! It was the perfect night!
