We got engaged in Hawaii (a surprise trip that Scott planned). Hawaii is a special place for both of our families- Scott's parents, Deb and Tom, were married there, and Catherine's parents, Leslie and Jim, got engaged there! Scott proposed at about 10 am in the morning, after we had arrived in Hawaii the night before- it was our first activity of the trip. We were both dressed in our hiking clothes and super sweaty- but Catherine loves surprises so everything was absolutely perfect. We are getting married in Mooresville, where Catherine grew up. There is nothing we love more than lake days with our friends, surfing behind the boat, and long evenings playing corn hole at Cat’s parent’s house. Catherine expanded her family to include Ernest, her 13 year old male kitty cat rescue in 2021. He is arguably the most loved family member. He shares Cat’s last name, Wilson, but Scott is looking forward to being his adoptive father and us all becoming Helfriches! We are so ready to be a family!
