Early summer of 2017 in Knoxville, TN. | Katie was working at the local corner coffee shop and Nolan was a grad student and full time doggy dad. Katie started at the coffee shop in early 2016 and met Nolan, among all the other coffee shop regulars. Always happy when Nolan would stop by with his sweet pup, Eve- Katie would sneak out to give her a few scritches between the ears. After a few more visits over the course of the year Katie and Nolan slowly got to know each other. Then, in late Spring of 2017, Nolan went out of town and didn't let his barista know he'd be leaving- and she really missed seeing him. When Nolan got back into town, after what felt like months but was really only a few weeks, Katie found a better excuse to hang out with Nolan and Eve- Game of Thrones' final season. They'd get together to watch a new episode every weekend (Katie and her roommates had HBO) and that quickly led to midweek beers at our favorite neighborhood bar, Hops and Hollers, which evolved into movie nights, and dinners out, and hikes with Eve, and then eventually dinners in. ... And now their wedding!
