A cheesy pick up line, a walk through Barnes and Noble, and Mexican date night is how this love story began in spring 2017. Fast forward through many Mexican dinner dates, years of school, a move across country, and purchasing a home. Katie’s intrigue to attend a Taylor Swift concert had Justin and Katie planning a trip to Australia in February 2024. Since it had been almost 7 years and many hints, Katie had a feeling the question might be coming and told a close friend she would know as soon as they arrived at the airport due to Justin's meticulous personality. Despite multiple security check point stops, Justin managed to appear calm and left Katie wondering. Australia was a dream! After photo ops near the Twelve Apostles overlook, Justin insisted on a hike along the beachside where he got down on one knee and popped the question. Our time together has been an amazing adventure full of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. We've traveled whenever possible and never turn down an opportunity to explore. We are so excited to begin our next chapter as husband and wife! We cannot wait to celebrate with you!
