Dustin and Kathryn both attended Winthrop University, and although they had many mutual friends their paths didn't cross often. Their first date involved sushi and an unexpectedly late Wednesday night of talking. It was the start of something special. As their relationship blossomed, they created countless memories together, from surviving food poisoning in Ireland (ironically from sushi, of course) to attending many concerts and enduring nail-biting football games. Dustin proposed at Pretty Place, a familiar place where they celebrated Kathryn's birthday in their first year of dating. It has become a cherished place and is surrounded by breathtaking views. As their wedding day approaches, they cherish every moment that brought them together. They could not be more thrilled for this next chapter of their life together to begin and are so excited to celebrate their true love with family and friends on 5/24/25.
