Katelyn and Joey met on the always reliable and infamous dating app, Tinder. Katelyn, of course, saw that Joey had soccer-related pictures which, in her book, was always an automatic right swipe. Joey was instantly captured by Katelyn's beauty leading to his right swipe. And then it was a match (some would say made in heaven)! Their first date was to see a movie and the rest is history! Katelyn still isn't sure if Joey kept wanting to hang out with her because she had just gotten the world's cutest puppy, Stan, or because he actually wanted to spend time with her but it seems it all worked out in the end.

Joey's main goal (besides a "yes") was surprising Katelyn since she figures out 99% of surprises. So Joey enlisted the help of roommate/bff/now MOH, Claire, and the two devised a plan. On an ordinary Saturday in February, Joey asked Katelyn if she wanted to go watch the K-State basketball game at Stanley Beer Hall to which she reluctantly agreed. He made the two of them walk in the snow and frigid temperature across the field to the marketplace so Katelyn set off on a powerwalk considering how unprepared she was. Meanwhile Claire and Stan were on a "run" to help Claire prepare for her upcoming half-marathon. In reality, the two were hiding and waiting for Katelyn and Joey to walk across the field. After some troubles getting Stan to recognize his humans, Katelyn eventually saw her little pup sprinting towards her. When he finally got to her, she saw that Stan had a ring box tied to his collar. She was so surprised as Joey got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Joey was thankful she decided to say "yes!" We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter with you all in KC!
