Katie and Dustin met through their good friends Jordan and Caitlin. Soon after meeting, they began hanging out, going to the beach, and playing volleyball together. Katie realized Dustin was the one when even though he was an avid meat lover, he compromised and ordered a vegetarian pizza. For Dustin, it took him a little longer to realize how special Katie was. This realization came while Dustin was traveling Europe with Jordan. Even though he was with his best friend, he couldn't help but wish Katie was there. From then on they have been best friends, travel companions, and teammates in life.
