We're Getting Married!

Katie and Cole met during the fall 2013 semester at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, through mutual friends. The two enjoyed their first date at a local Italian restaurant, Ozzio's, on February 14, 2014. The following weekend they attended Cole's fraternity formal in New Orleans. Their relationship was still very new, but exploring Bourbon Street and Jackson Square made a really awesome first trip together! Through the next 3 years, Katie and Cole attended several more sorority/fraternity formals, socials, vacations, and football games together. Katie's favorite date with Cole was a surprise date in the spring of 2015. She had no idea where they were going or what they were doing. Cole picked her up and drove them from Auburn to Atlanta. He took her to the Georgia Aquarium and treated her to a lovely steak dinner at Houston's. One of Cole's favorite memories is of how he and Katie spent New Year's Eve 2016. While their friends were out at the bar having a good time during the last few hours of the year, Katie and Cole were tucked into bed surrounded by junk food watching Shrek until the clock struck midnight. By 12:15 AM, they were asleep. Katie graduated from Auburn in December 2016 and moved back to her hometown, Arlington, Virginia. Long-distance through 2017 was difficult, but planned trips between Virginia and Alabama every two months made things easier. Cole joined Katie in Arlington in June 2018. They now live in a two-bedroom condo with their adorable rescue Greyhound, Aimee.
