Hello everyone! Katie here. 👋🏼 I am going to tell you a bit about us, and will get Billy's input while he sits here next to me watching the NBA playoffs. (it's better this way, trust me) In May of 2022 we went on a coffee date in West Hollywood, and it was pretty much love at first sight. (Billy giving verbal confirmation) It felt pretty surreal, and we both felt like we'd already somehow known each other. From that day forward, we've spent almost every day together and life has definitely never been the same. Billy would say his wardrobe has been transformed, and I have successfully outsourced all the logistical planning of my life to Billy- so I think it's safe to say it's been pretty win/win. What I loved about Billy right away: His authenticity, and how loving and present he was. Also, I liked his tattoos and his blue eyes. Billy here: What I loved about Katie right away was: her warm energy, beautiful smile and her perspective on life. I also found her quite hilarious. Back to Katie: (pleased to be called hilarious) We moved to Arizona and have had so much fun creating a brand new life together. We bond over being young at heart, loving silly movies, having minimal experience 'adulting' and a deep love of Italian food and smoothies. (but not at the same time) We also share a similar spiritual perspective, and both do our best to be a light in the world. We both really love what we do and care about leaving the world a little better than we found it. Oh, and we absolutely adore our nieces and nephews, and pamper our little pug Penny. (Who is known as the Duchess of our neighborhood) We knew from our second date on that we were going to get married, (I know, wow) and feel so lucky to have found one another. It has really felt like magic and like fate, and it's been amazing for us both to experience how natural it's been to build a life together full of happiness, laughter and fun. We call our little world Buckotopia, and we call each other bucko pretty much daily- It just kind of stuck. We've both loved becoming a part of each other's families, and feel very blessed to have so much love on both sides. We are excited to have a family of our own one day, and are so grateful to have you with us at our wedding as we become family with one-another. We are excited about the future and know we have lots of adventures ahead of us! Thank you for supporting us in this awesome new chapter, we can't wait to celebrate with you! Lots of love, Katie & Billy
