Falls at the Banks

Joe & Katelyn met in Cincinnati, Ohio at Setters sand volleyball club, where they both played competitive volleyball. Joe needed a player and decided he would ask his friend Lynsey to ask her friend Katelyn to play on their team. That's all she wrote, he fell in love❤ (This is narrator Katelyn.) In april of 2015 Joe asked me to dinner for my birthday. I was actually at home the night of my birthday watching TV & he asked me what I was doing at home on my birthday? So he asked me to meet him at Butterbees (local restaurant) & I did. He decided he couldn't live without me :) We've started our story with 2 amazing babies who have completely change our lives & just makes our love that much more. I couldn't ask for a better role model for our sons or daughter. He is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. Needless to say we met in the sand & we are going to become forever in the sand & I don't believe it could be more perfect!

We (Joe) decided we were going to go on a little trip down to Gatlinburg, TN. Which is one of my favorite places. I have visited here my whole life as a child with my Mother and grandparents. It is a very special place to me. Our second day there we were going to go hiking to see Laurel Falls. It was literally an uphill battle and carrying a baby didn't make it easier. We finally got to the top and the waterfall was in view. I crossed the bridge with Remi on my hip. Joe's parents Jim & Gerry were there as well as my mother Nena. We posed for a cute (obligatory) family picture and when I turned around he was down on one knee😭 I might have cried, there were cheers from strangers & I didn't answer him. I was scared he was going to drop the ring in the rushing water right below him. It was quite comical, it was also amazing and perfect and I couldn't believe that I was this lucky. He asked if I would answer him, I said yes ❤💍 & now he is stuck with me forever!

We are so excited to have you as a part of our wedding day! We love each & everyone of you and couldn't imagine saying I do without you there. Although we know we are asking travels and time from you, please know we appreciate you and love you to the moon and back for taking time for us on this special occasion.
