They met in 2014 at MSUM. They started talking in class, which led Patrick to email Katie asking her to get together to study for the final. They went on their first date in May, golfing and ice cream. Patrick asked Katie to be his girlfriend June 12th, and they moved in together in November. Fast forward to July 1st, 2018, they had plans to go golfing. But Katie felt sick so they stayed home and watched a movie. Afterwards, Patrick kneeled in front of the couch and said "Katie, I love you so much, and I can't want any longer. Will you marry me?" She said YES!
