Kate and Jack first met in college at the University of South Carolina in 2016, when they both lived on the third floor of the Columbia Hall dorm. They crossed paths on several occasions before finally officially meeting and quickly becoming interested in one another towards the end of their freshman year. During college, Kate and Jack studied extensively, spent many a nights at Jake’s Bar and Grill, and even adopted their four legged family member, Finnley. After both had earned their exercise science degrees, the couple moved to DC for Jack’s graduate school program where they continued to bond over their love of sushi and travelling, having visited 15 states together. Jack proposed to Kate in April, on their last weekend in DC. Kate thought she was going for a walk in the park followed by a brunch, but Jack had secretly hired a photographer for engagement pictures complete with multiple shooting locations and outfit changes. Needless to say, Kate said yes. After almost 7 years together, we are so excited to make it official with all of you at our wedding ceremony and reception in May. Thank you for being a part of our love story!
