Story
The year was 2012. Katelyn's college friend had a visitor coming to town and asked if she could hang out with him whenever he was in class. Well... it turns out that friend was Matt! Over the course of the week they really hit it off, but when Matt left to fly 3,000 miles back home Katelyn had assumed she would never see him again.
Over the course of the next 6 years, they would follow each others' lives on Instagram and send a message or two every now and then. In September of 2018 this escalated to Facetiming or talking on the phone almost every single night for months.
It was then that Matt finally decided to take action and book a plane ticket to New York. The rest is history!
Tidbits
How did you first meet?
See Our Story!
Who made the first move? How?
He made the first move when he said "That's it, I'm coming to New York!"
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
We'll figure that out after the wedding!
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
We were in Cancun, Mexico March of 2020... rushed back to NYC, packed up Kate's apartment, and drove into Canada before the border closed for the next 18 months due to the pandemic. That's definitely a trip we'll never forget!
