We met way back in 2007 as coworkers and friends of friends. In 2011, when we were both 21, we continued to hang out while discovering the lengths we could push our livers. To be 21 again, amiright? #GatorsWingshack It was during this time we were realizing maybe we were more than just friends. On January 19th, 2012 we began dating. In the years since, we have gone to many, many, many concerts, comedy shows, Blackhawks games, movies, musicals, and so much more. We have been each other's plus one, best friend, and life partner. On September 14, 2019, Wade proposed in front of many of our closest friends at Riot Fest in Chicago. Katie's still not quite sure she said yes. Lots of expletives (sorry Mom & Dad), excitement, and nodding. We began wedding planning when just a few months later COVID-19 showed up and ruined everyone's lives. So now that we have surviving a pandemic under our belts, it is time to do this marriage thing! After these 9 great years of love, laughter, and lots of sarcastic banter- we are so excited to become legally bound together and even more so excited to celebrate our future together with all of you! <3
