Kate and Lincoln met while working together—Kate was a senior in high school, and Lincoln had just graduated. They spent their days side by side, slowly getting to know each other through shared shifts and easygoing banter. Lincoln would walk Kate to her car after every shift, a small but thoughtful routine that quietly brought them closer. On their first date they went to the lake and grabbed sushi—Lincoln showed up in style (if you know Lincoln, you know he has a one-of-a-kind way of putting outfits together). It was the first time they saw each other outside of work, and it quickly became clear there was a lot more to discover. Kate introduced Lincoln to sushi for the first time, and what started as a casual hangout turned into hours of conversation and a sunburn Lincoln won’t forget. Since then, their relationship has grown naturally, built on friendship, curiosity, and shared adventures. One of their favorite memories is a trip to Kauai. Lincoln proposed during a hike, and afterward they took a helicopter ride to see the island from above. They wrapped up the day with dinner on the beach, enjoying the sunset and the start of a new chapter together. Now, they’ve settled into life in Grants Pass with their dog, Binks. Together, they’ve discovered their passions, grown in their careers, and built a strong foundation for the marriage they’re so excited to begin.
