Towey Was Right

Ave Maria University's Then-President James Towey said during both Katie and Joe's freshman orientation that 1 in 5 students found their spouse at Ave Maria. We can't speak for the rest of the student body, but we sure are happy to count ourselves as part of the 1 in 5! Katie heard Joe open his mouth to speak during Resident Assistant Training at Ave Maria University, saw his killer smile and enthralling personality, and knew immediately that she was MADLY in love with him... or something like that. Joe, like a classic man, was absolutely oblivious. Three months later, after Katie visited Joe EVERY time he was on duty as an RA and they started working together in Joe's coffee shop, Joe finally realized he was crazy about Katie. After our first date, we knew we wanted to see each other exclusively, and after meeting each others families, it all made sense. Two months later, on New Years Eve, Joe knew he was going to marry Katie. After a crazy year of Joe taking the MCAT and applying for medical schools, Katie moving back to Michigan during the pandemic, six months of long distance dating, Joe shipping out to medical school, and Katie deciding to graduate early, we are READY to get married and start the next chapter of our lives!
