We met in 2006 at Washington College in Chestertown, MD. We bonded over our shared love of B rated (or worse) horror movies. We became part of a mutual friend group that saw each other almost daily, and always for the weekly episode of House. We became close friends who stayed in touch throughout the years but reconnected more regularly again in 2022. Whether it was movie nights (those bad horror movies just keep getting made!) or adventures with Eomer and Elizabeth we remained important people for one another. After 17 years of friendship, we started dating in 2023. We had a small wedding ceremony in the summer of 2024 in Katie's parents' backyard where all the official paperwork was signed. We are now excited to share a wedding with all of the important people in our lives!
