Felix and Katie met through mutual friends after Felix moved back home from being enlisted in the Navy. Katie's best friends were trying to set Felix up with someone else, but she wasn’t going to let that happen! Felix and Katie went two stepping for a friends birthday and he swept her off her feet. Katie was hesitant about starting a new relationship before starting Physical Therapy school, but Felix was her rock through it all and she is so thankful she did.
Felix planned on proposing to Katie during Valentine's day weekend (One of Katie's favorite holidays). Felix was not able to find a restaurant to accommodate our family and friends due to COVID restrictions so he wanted to propose at her parents house. Before they arrived, the electricity went out at Katie's parents house from a rare snow/ice storm in Austin. Felix proposed in the dark and was barely able to get through his speech before Katie said YES. Katie's parents had to set up a generator to get some light to snap some pictures afterwards.
