It’s happening!

Katie and Michael met through mutual friends in the fall of 2012 at the Chandler House in Santa Barbara, California. If you asked Katie though, she would say that she met Michael's dog Paddington before him, but that's a story for another day. Regardless of how it happened, from the moment they both locked eyes, they knew there was an instant connection. A few months after meeting and prior to their first date, they both wound up at the same New Years Eve party where they shared a midnight kiss. Coincidentally, prior to arriving at the party, Katie was working as a server and had a table consisting of an older married couple that told her “she would fall in love with whomever she kissed that night”. Little did she know their fate was sealed. Their first date was to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Soon after that the two became inseparable going on hikes, out to eat and visiting their favorite place Disneyland. Fast forward to 8 years later after surviving a pandemic and postponing their first wedding, they look forward to celebrating their love with all of those closest to their hearts!
