We're so excited to celebrate with you!

Surprisingly, Brad and Katlyn met online when a friend signed each of them up for a dating website. Katlyn had specifically put on her profile that she wouldn't respond to someone if they just messaged with "hi" because apparently that was a pretty common "pick up line" (or maybe it was just in that time). Brad didn't really think about that when he messaged her "hi" and funny enough she decided to respond. They talked over text and the phone for about a month and decided to meet in person and get to know each other better over a Das Boot at Hessen Haus for Octoberfest in 2014. After their first date they planned another get together for Brad to go to Katlyn's apartment and when he brought her homemade applesauce she was hooked from then on. After moving in together and buying a house they decided to start a new adventure and grow their family when they added Roah. As a family they have been on many adventures together. Brad FINALLY decided to ask Katlyn to marry him in the car after going to supper for Katlyn's birthday by saying "So you wanna be married" and Katlyn asked if that was him proposing. She told him he needed to propose "for real". In the meantime, they decided to continue the adventures by adding a second baby to the family and then in front of a waterfall in Michigan Brad got down on one knee and had Roah hand Katlyn the ring and asked "Will you marry me for real?" Of course, Katlyn said yes. Planning a wedding and adding Roric to their family in May has been one of their biggest adventures yet, but they are just getting started! "We thank every one of you for being in our lives and this wedding and marriage is our way of sharing our love for each other and our family's love with all of our extended family and friends!"
