Cole first noticed Katie through a mutual friend in April of 2016 as the "blonde girl in the snapchats". Cole was 22 and Katie was 19. Katie was hesitant at first, but Cole never gave up; even after Katie faked sick in the middle of July (twice). In August of that same year, they officially met through a mutual friend and instantly hit it off. They continued to go on a few dates and continued to grow fonder of each other. After meeting parents and friends, a couple of trips down the Northeast Extension for Cole , and a few more dates, Cole made it official on September 16, 2016.

On August 29. 2021, Cole and Katie spent the day celebrating Cole's 28th birthday. The drive home from Cole's birthday dinner, he took a pit stop to the house that they are fixing up. The house was under construction and he told Katie there were a few things he wanted to show her. They walked into the house and that is where Cole got on one knee and asked Katie if she would marry him. After the emotions calmed down, they called all their family and friends to tell them the exciting news!

On December 17, 2022, Cole and Katie will be getting married. With Katie's love for Christmas, and not during any hunting or softball season, it was an easy date to decide on. After the wedding, they will be taking off for a Barbados honeymoon, and will be home just in time for Christmas. Cole and Katie currently live outside of Minersville where they will start their life together. They hope to have a dog (or 2), a cat (just 1 because Cole isn't a fan of cats), and hopefully a few children of their own! They look forward to growing a life and a family that they both always dreamed of! Thank you to ALL of their family and friends for supporting, and contributing to the life they have. They are SO excited to celebrate with you all.
