Both Rachel and Louie have known since childhood that they were called to the Vocation of Marriage and had been searching for a faithful and loving companion to journey through life towards Heaven, together. So, being the impatient kind of people they are, they decided to join CatholicMatch in order to each find someone who fit the bill. Louie signed up in February 2019 and Rachel joined a few months later. Before Rachel could even finish creating her profile, Louie sent her a message! On June 8th, 2019, Rachel drove to Louie’s hometown for a “quick” coffee date, which turned into a “quick” tour of Stillwater, and ended with a reluctant goodbye SIX HOURS later! Little did they know that “goodbye” was just the beginning and that on August 22nd, 2020, they would be walking those same streets, past that same coffee shop, to a gondola ride where Louie (with the help of their families and friends) asked Rachel to marry him. So, let’s make it happen, folks! October 1st, 2021! Be there!
