Hello all! We are moving forward with plans for our rescheduled wedding, so please save the date of Saturday, June 12th, 2021. We will provide more information as the date gets closer. We can't wait to celebrate!

In February 2018, Gary took a vacation to visit friends in the LA and Orange County areas. Among those friends were Josh and Vanya Murdaugh, two people he met at college. He asked them to set him up with someone to spend the rest of his life with. The next day, Josh let him know that they had the perfect person. Vanya talked with Kaity, one of her closest friends since middle school, and told her about Josh's friend who was looking to date someone with the intentions of having a serious relationship. Kaity was excited at the prospect of meeting this "cute ginger" friend of Josh's. Gary was excited about meeting "the perfect girl" for him. In March 2018, Kaity and Gary met for the first time while on a blind double-date with Josh and Vanya. They hit if off right away, and grew to be more and more interested as time moved on. Gary knew early on that this woman was a keeper from the way she carried herself, her responses to intellectual conversations, and her religious convictions and liturgical practices. He knew that this was something very special in the making. On July 6th, 2018, Gary made things official with Kaity by asking her to be his girlfriend in the Downtown Disney parking lot, after spending an entire afternoon and evening together. She, of course, said yes. Over the next few months, Kaity and Gary played the long-distance game, Gary living and working in San Luis Obispo and Kaity in Irvine. After many weekend trips five hours north or south, and day trips to Santa Barbara, Kaity moved to San Luis Obispo to be closer to Gary. On September 7th, 2019, Gary took Kaity to one of her favorite places for prayer and reflection, and asked her for her hand in marriage, fulfilling yet another one of her prayer requests that God would bless her with a husband. God, being ever faithful in keeping His promises, brought Gary and Kaity together in the most miraculous of ways. Their story is the manifestation of that faithfulness.
