John and Kat met their first night out at SMU. After a year of friendship, John asked Kat to be his girlfriend in Vail, CO. After 5 years of adventures, John went down on one knee in the place where it all started, Vail. Kat said OF COURSE! They chose the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens to have their dream outdoor fall wedding with their friends and family, as they couldn't imagine spending it any other way.
