We met on Catholic Match during one of the greatest weeks of the year, Holy Week! Steven sent a message to Catlyn months prior but she never responded! Then, on Holy Thursday, Catlyn decided to return his message. We spent the rest of the Triduum and Easter season sharing with each other all the beautiful traditions our Catholic Faith has to offer.
For our first date, we met halfway in a small town in Ohio. We met at a coffee shop, which neither of us are lovers of coffee, but we had a great time!
Steven asked Catlyn's dad for his blessing over Labor Day weekend when her parents came out to meet his family! The following weekend Steven's family came to Greensburg. Steven took Catlyn and his family to twin lakes where Catlyn took Steven the first weekend he came to Greensburg. Steven had the perfect plan of going back to the bench they sat on but Catlyn did not cooperate. As her personality goes, she was trying to keep everyone together and didn't want to break away from his family to sit on the bench. So Steven had to resort to plan B, the gazebo! Catlyn still resisted but Steven's sister Mindy stepped in and successfully got Catlyn to the gazebo, where Steven was finally able to propose!
