Bride
Ryan describes Katie as “fun, caring, goofy, and loyal.” Katie has a way of shining light on any situation. She is hardworking and very goal driven. Katie has a competitive spirit that always keeps game nights interesting. Her love for the outdoors and nature is an inherited trait from her mom and grandfather and a passion that both her and Ryan share. Another passion of Katie’s is helping children. She received her masters degree in counseling psychology from Chatham University and she looks forward to helping children of all walks of life as she pursues her professional career. Most importantly Katie has a way of opening her whole heart to those she loves. This has allowed her to be an incredible friend, girlfriend, fiancé, and now wife. Ryan feels incredibly blessed for the past, present, and his future with Katie. He is grateful for her love and compassion and cannot wait to watch her grow as they start their lives and family together.
Groom
Katie would describe Ryan as “hilarious, hardworking, family-oriented, and kind.” He never ceases to make her laugh, no matter the occasion. He brings out the best in her with his goofy personality and openness. Ryan is her biggest supporter, best friend, confidant (and a great cat dad too). Over the years Katie has seen him grow from a teenage boy to a young man, and could not be prouder of the person he has and will become. A wonderful son, brother, nephew, cousin, grandson, employee, coworker, and friend — anyone who meets Ryan is lucky to have even a small piece of him in their life. Katie feels especially lucky to now share her life with him and to get to have and hold him through thick and thin. Now as her husband, Katie knows that Ryan will only grow into an even better man and a loving father in the future, and cannot wait to see him in this role.
