Tim and Kati’s story began in childhood, when they first met as part of the same circle of friends. Over the years, their friendship was marked by sweet, playful moments, including the occasional childhood “boyfriend and girlfriend” chapter that now feels like such a charming part of their beginning. When Tim moved away after sixth grade, life took them in different directions, but they remained connected as pen pals and continued to cross paths from time to time throughout the years. Even as seasons changed, there was always a quiet thread tying their story together. In time, that thread led them back to one another in a way neither of them could have planned, but both are deeply grateful for. What began as a childhood connection grew into a lasting love built on friendship, history, and the kind of bond that only deepens with time. Now, with full hearts and great joy, Tim and Kati look forward to the life they will build together and feel incredibly thankful to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people they love most.
