Once upon a time, many many moons ago Katie was a bartender at the W Hotel in Scottsdale. Stephen and his buddies would go out from time to time and come to find out Stephen had a little crush on the bartender and always wished he could land a girl like her. Fast forward over a decade later, his wish came true :) Katie was pursuing her career in the liquor industry and was hosting Tequila classes and tastings on the side. Bing- She received a DM from the Rysso Peters Instagram asking for a tequila tasting for his staff. Keep in mind, there are no photos of Stephen on his page, so who knows who this person is she's messaging with- An assistant? A creepy old man? Who knows!? Katie set up a time to go to the Rysso Showroom in Old Town Scottsdale before the tasting (obviously she had to make sure she wasn't going to be tossed into a dungeon!) Little did she realize on this particular day, she would be stopped in her tracks by this breathtakingly handsome man. As he's opening the showroom door, he cracks a cheesy joke right out of the gates while flashing a charming smile. Katie kept it cool and stayed professional even though she was internally as giddy as a school girl and couldn't stop smiling. A couple days later, the tequila tasting for his staff was a total success. Stephen had to leave the tasting early since he rented an RV that day and was headed to the New Mexico Balloon Festival with some friends. So- before he left, Katie took her shot and said "welp, you're missing out on the best part! I guess you'll have to have a make up tequila tasting when you get back :)" From that point on, the rest is History! Katie & Stephen are so excited to celebrate with their closest family and friends with their love story.
