Ian and Katie met on Ian's Birthday (May 20, 2016) at a classmate meeting party the weekend before they started Physical Therapy School. They hit it off immediately when they started talking about how they were both from the Midwest moving down to sunny Florida for school for the first time. When they met, Ian's sister Madison was also at the party. Little did they know, Madison went home after that weekend and informed her parents that Katie was going to be "either Ian's new best friend, or his future wife". Fast forward 5 years and here we are!
Ian proposed to Katie at her parents house in Fort Myers, Florida on December 9, 2020. They were there for a family Christmas trip and had made plans to meet up with Ian's parents, sister, niece, nephew, and godparents the next day to go out on a boat and go to lunch. Ian asked Katie to walk out onto the dock at sunset and built up the courage to ask her then and there! They spent the next day celebrating the occasion with both families.
Ian and Katie are currently living in downtown Nashville, TN. They are both Outpatient Physical Therapists and enjoy exploring Nashville, hiking, and hanging out with friends on the weekends.
