The Story....

Catina's Story...

Catina received an early am call from her Aunt Joanne on her way to work in early January 2013. She was so excited to tell her about a boy named Theo she wanted to set her up with. She was then sent a picture of him from Theo's friend, Julie. Theo and Catina texted for a few weeks until Theo finally got the courage to ask her on a date! Their first date was sushi at Kooma in West Chester, PA. Catina had been suffering from a fever all day at work and even debated rescheduling, but she took enough DayQuil to get her through their first date! She had a good feeling about this date.. Catina thought Theo was super cute and a gentleman from the start. They hit it off despite Catina's fever and the rest is history:)

Theo's Story...

Theo's roommate Doug and friend Julie happened to be on their orthopedic rotation at Doylestown Hospital where they met a very friendly nurse, Catina's Aunt Joanne! After discussing their love for Baklava, the three of them strategized setting Catina and Theo up. Later that night Julie and Doug were excited to share the news with Theo. Julie had taken a picture of Catina's college graduation picture (how embarrassing!) that was in Aunt Joanne's locker. Theo texted Catina that night with the help of his roommates, Julie and sister, Elysse. After a few weeks they went on their first date at Kooma in West Chester, PA. Little did Theo know Catina had been battling a fever all day. Theo thought Catina was stunningly beautiful when she walked in. In typical Catina fashion she was 3 minutes late... The date went well and Theo asked her on a second date the following week. The rest is history :)

Tidbits

How did Theo propose?

Catina and Theo's family were on vacation in Charleston, SC. On a very hot night, Theo took Catina to check out the lighthouse in Folly Beach. Theo surprised Catina with a beautiful ring on the beach. Elysse captured the moment in true paparazzi form. Their families celebrated at S.N.O.B in downtown Charleston afterwards.
