We met at Wilderness Water Safety Training on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis. We had both been hired as first-year staff at Camp Widjiwagan for that summer. Katie was the first to arrive, and Taylor was the second. Katie's hair was only an inch or two long at that time, but Taylor liked her anyways.

Taylor popped the question on a chilly June morning on the same beach at Lake Nokomis where we first met. We then giddily walked around the lake and capped the morning off with coffee and donuts.
