We met back in 2012 through our high school marching band. We both played trumpet and were in the same section. During Katelyn's freshman year and Chris's sophomore year, we were placed in the same band class period that school year. Through band events and sharing music sheets during class, a friendship formed. By the end of that school year we were texting often and would occasionally hang out. Summer 2013 brought along a week of band camp and we spent the whole week hanging out and growing closer. Chris gathered the courage to ask Katelyn to be his date to the homecoming dance (awwww!). It went so well that one month later he asked her to be his girlfriend (awww again!). Since then, we have continued our relationship across two different college campuses, 8 hour distance, conflicting work schedules, and another move for Katelyn to attend PA school. The weekend of our 11th anniversary Chris asked the question that Katelyn (and arguably everyone else) had been waiting for, and we got engaged! By the time our wedding rolls around, we will have been together for 12 wonderful years. Time flies!
