WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!

We met in freshman year of high school, and developed a friendship over the years through the activities we both loved like marching band and indoor drumline. We started dating right before graduation, and have been loving life together since. We've been so grateful to be able to grow together over the last 8 years through the ups, downs, and milestones; and are so excited for the years ahead! We're so excited to party with all of you next year, but in the meantime- you can find us at our favorite local watering hole, Moonshine, playing with Gary at the park, catching up on one of our favorite TV shows, or finding a new hiking trail! See you all in 2022!!

The engagement was perfectly us. Mike had jumped through hoops to get the ring as perfect as possible, while Katie had no idea what was coming! Katie loves Christmas time (especially exploring all the lit-up streets of South Philly), so there wasn't a better time to pop the question. We had plans for dinner with family, and Katie, who woke up late after working the night before was frantically running around the house trying to get ready. Mike, right before walking out the door to leave, grabbed Katie and told her how much he loved her (as she's still trying to rush out the door not realizing what's happening). He then got down on one knee, and you know how the rest goes from there! We were so grateful to be able to celebrate with family over the following holidays, and can't wait to extend that to all of you on 9/10/2022!
