Fall of 2014, Christian and Katie met at Marquette Quidditch tryouts. Later that weekend, they met up at a Labor Day block party, and were fast friends after that. The next few months brought quidditch tournaments, team parties, and Friday lunch dates at Cobeen Hall, until Spring of 2015 when Christian asked Katie to be his girlfriend. They've been together ever since!

June 23, 2018 Christian, Katie, and some friends were up north at her family's lake house. Christian had plans to pop the question in the afternoon. Katie would have never suspected, if she hadn't accidentally seen the ADORABLE congratulations celebration bridesmaids Michaela and Megan had set up next door. It was still a beautiful moment full of happy tears and champagne!
