Katie and Jared met at a mutual friend's birthday party. They were introduced by Darren & Gena Bouldin and spent the the whole evening chatting and getting to know each other. They discovered they had a lot in common, including a love for bikes and hiking. Jared was drawn to Katie's outgoing personality and adventurous spirit, while Katie was captivated by Jared's long hair and dry sarcasm. Over the next few months, they spent a lot of time getting to know each other, going to champagne night at the movie theatre and riding bikes together. They found that they complemented each other perfectly, with Jared's calm and steady demeanor balancing out Katie's extroverted energy. Now, as they celebrate each passing year together, Jared and Katie are grateful for the chance encounter that brought them together and grateful for the love that continues to grow between them. They are excited for all the adventures that lie ahead and look forward to building a future filled with love, laughter, and happiness.
