David and Katie met in 2004, in the eighth grade. However, there were no sparks until July of 2016. Life had taken them both in different directions, down a few very long detours, taught them a few hard lessons, and gave Katie a daughter in the years between. July of 2016 rolled around, they had been texting and calling each-other daily as friends. David decided he was going to stop by And see Katie at work on his way to his grandmas. Well, he went to the wrong dollar general and ended up asking her to go get drinks after she got off work. I’ll spare you details of that evening. They remained friends, Danielle (Katie’s then best friend, now sister in law) kept pushing Katie to just date David. A few weeks went by, and David met Katie at a community concert. Long story short, Katie listened to Danielle (for the first and only time in her life) and forced David to be her boyfriend. From that day on. (August 20,2016). They were having fun, and spending the weekends together with Hailey… until April, when much to their surprise they found out a little clements was on their way. A few months later they moved in together, and a few years later David proposed on Christmas Eve 2018. They almost had a five year engagement, but Katie finished nursing school and in true Katie fashion she forced David to set a date. Which brings us here. If you know them, you know their story isn’t all butterflies and rainbows, sweet words and gestures. It’s real, it’s hard, it’s confusing…. but you also know they’ll never give up on one another and their love is unconditional, and endless.
