We met through social media, connected by a mutual friend. What started as a simple message about a rainbow trout turned into daily phone calls that neither of us wanted to end. Within two weeks, Grant made the drive from Kentucky, and Katie the drive from Arkansas, to go on our first date at the Land Between the Lakes in Princeton, Kentucky. That day was unforgettable—dinner at a nice restaurant, off-roading through the backroads, and catfishing! It was adventurous, effortless, and full of laughter. From that moment on, we were inseparable, and it didn’t take long to realize we’d found forever in each other.

Eager to spend our lives together, we decided as a couple to privately elope alongside our parents, who were there supporting us. Although we are already married, we are so excited to still celebrate our marriage with all of you on our big wedding day! We would be honored to see each of you there!
