Without planning or knowing it at the time, Max’s Best Man, Rob, and Katie’s Maid of Honor, Margeau, played important roles in bringing them together. Max and Rob were roommates, and they were hosting a small party for Rob’s birthday at their apartment. Just before the party started, Margeau convinced Katie to tag along with her. Max and Katie didn’t actually meet at the party, but, as fate would have it, they ended up in the same Uber on the way to the bars after. Sitting in the front seat, and not one to shy away from meeting new people, Katie turned around and introduced herself to Max. They arrived to Belles and continued to talk until Max finally asked Katie for her number as she was leaving. They spent the next few days texting nonstop before deciding to meet up “just as friends” for a drink at Mirror Twin. Luckily, Max’s charm proved too much, and they haven’t spent a day without talking to each other since.
