We've loved celebrating so many of our friends at their weddings and can't wait to have you all with us for ours! This photo was taken in Newport, RI celebrating our friends Casey & Kenny.

A photo of us taken by our friend Karl Mellows on our third date. Little did we know we'd go on to get engaged in this spot and ask Karl to marry us!

Our first trip together was to Nashville. Michael told the band we had gotten engaged and they made us slow dance in front of the whole bar! Michael asked Katie to be his girlfriend on this trip.

One of our first trips down the shore together was for Len & Emily's pre-wedding party. Michael met many of Katie's extended family that weekend and left a lasting impression!

One of our first pictures in our Brooklyn apartment together. Brooklyn is so special to us for so many reasons, and we still live in this apartment today - just not with that couch!

In December 2022 we traveled to Australia and Katie finally got to meet Chris & Ann in person for the first time!

Michael surprised Katie with a New Years Eve Sydney Harbor cruise. The fireworks were spectacular!

Our first music festival together. Michael was able to get us artist passes which resulted in him meeting his favorite DJ and this photo being taken by one of his favorite photographers.

Michael proposed to Katie on June 24, 2023 at Brooklyn Bridge Park with all of her friends hiding in the bushes waiting to surprise her.

Michael thinks of every detail when it comes to planning surprises. He proposed at just the right angle to have the Brooklyn Bridge in the background - a landmark symbolic to our relationship.

Right after getting engaged Katie and Michael celebrated with their friends at the iconic 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge.

Michael's first Tepper family vacation. We went to Bozeman, MT and to Yellowstone National Park. That's Old Faithful in the background!

En route to San Diego for less than 48 hours to find our wedding venue!

Celebrating Michael's 35th birthday and Katie's first Manly Sea Eagles game.

Chris & Ann joined us in New York for our engagement party. We then went down the shore for our first family Thanksgiving together where we were joined by Len & Emily.

Our first time celebrating a birthday together. We went to Isla Mujeres for Michael's 33rd birthday and began a tradition of traveling for it every year since.

Our relationship in a nutshell - always laughing and playing together.
