On August 7th, 2020, we exchanged vows in a private ceremony with family. Our first year married has been amazing. The only part that has been missing is a proper celebration with our friends! Please RSVP by May 15th to our happily ever after celebration! We hope you can join us, finally!

It is with great sadness and regret that Ruben and I must inform you of yet another wedding update. With the continued restrictions, precautions, and uncertainty in place in New Jersey and across the country, we have decided to postpone the celebration with all of our amazing family and friends until Friday, June 25th, 2021. We will be moving forward with a smaller, private ceremony. We do not want to let this pandemic put our marriage on hold any longer. If we have learned anything during all of this it's that our love is stronger than quarantine, lockdown, travel bans, and a global pandemic. After all, we survived 3 months (and counting) of quarantine together in an 800 sq. feet apartment. We want to truly celebrate this special and long-awaited evening with everyone properly - that is dancing, drinking, singing, eating and enjoying laughs, smiles, and hugs with the people who mean the most to us. We hope the additional year will provide everyone with extra comfort in their safety...and give you more time to perfect your dance moves and memorize the lyrics to Country Roads. The reception will be held at the same venue, One Atlantic, in Atlantic City. More details to follow (yes, another change the date!) as we get closer. Please continue to check our wedding website for travel information and itineraries! We love you all and appreciate your patience, love, and understanding during everything. Planning a wedding during such volatile and unprecedented times has surely shown us that... Love is patient, love is kind. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails! Xoxo Kate and Ruben

Like true Mountaineers, we both made a trip back to Morgantown in 2015 to watch the Old Gold and Blue play at Puskar Stadium. Kaitlin coming from Philadelphia and Ruben from Pittsburgh, we ran into each other at no other place but the Blue Lot. After a day full of tailgating with family and friends, and of course a WVU win, we parted ways...but not for long. Months of late night conversations turned into road trips across the state. We quickly made long distance a thing of the past. Kaitlin took a travel nurse assignment in Pittsburgh and the rest is history.

One December night, Ruben took advantage of the beautiful lights and Rockefeller tree to make Kaitlin’s Christmas dream come true. He popped the question and had both families and friends there for the surprise, ending the night with a boat cruise around the NYC Harbor! We can't wait to take this next step and celebrate with the ones who mean the most to us. See you all in Atlantic City!
