Our Wedding

In January 2018, there was a welcome back party to kick off the Spring semester of sophomore year at UND, which is where a mutual friend introduced Caitlin and Taggart. They had an instant connection and what they now believe was love at first sight, but they did not realize it at the time. They continued to coincidentally cross paths after that and as their connection grew undeniably strong, Caitlin wanted these encounters to become intentional, but didn't want it to be too obvious that she liked Taggart so much. What started as studying chemistry and physics together everyday, turned into movie nights and watching the winter Olympics. Taggart played hockey in high school and after realizing that Caitlin was a figure skater, he asked her on their first official date. They went ice skating at University Park on Valentine's day in 2018 and have been together ever since. When Caitlin was in her last semester at UND, Taggart had moved home for work. It was only a couple of months away from graduation, when the pandemic hit and the world was shut down. Although it was challenging, they knew they would make it work. Once Covid protocols began loosening up, Caitlin would travel to Canada whenever possible to see Taggart. Given that Caitlin was working in healthcare at the time and the strict quarantine regulations that Canada had, it was difficult to get time off for travel, so often Caitlin was having to visit during holiday breaks. The distance taught them the true value of every moment spent together and made the holidays even more special to them. Right before Christmas, on December 21st 2022 they were on another ice skating date and Taggart got down on one knee to ask Caitlin to spend forever together. Just as they started wedding planning, Caitlin got accepted into medical school and moved to Wichita, Kansas. Taggart has visited frequently and they have spent her school breaks planning for the big day. They started dating on Valentine's day, got engaged at Christmas time, and are so excited to marry each other on the 4th of July.
