Our Wedding

We first knew of each other in early high school. We took the same Spanish I class at Miamisburg. Kaitlyn was very studious and sat in the very front row, and Cal was the goofball who sat in the back of the class. For the first few years of school, we both would see each other frequently in marching band, but never talked much. Cal did always think Kaitlyn was cute, but far out of his league. We started talking the summer before our junior year of high school. Kaitlyn became good friends with the Steinbrunner family-Cal's childhood neighbors and second family. Throughout the summer, we talked frequently and got to know each other well. By the start of school junior year, Cal finally got up the courage to ask Kaitlyn to be his girlfriend. 9.30.2015 Our first official date was mini golf at Adventure Golf in Centerville, OH. We then went to Steak n' Shake and created the goofy sport of "frysketball"-a game of bouncing soggy and cold fries from one plate to the other. The date ended with us both talking in Cal's driveway for hours-right up to the point where Kaitlyn had to rush home to get back in time for the under 18 curfew rule. Throughout the end of high school and early college years, things started to become more serious. We took family trips together, went on every date imaginable, and made lots of great memories with family and friends that we will never forget! Kaitlyn graduated nursing school in 2020, and Cal finished business school in 2022. We both knew we wanted to get married, but made sure we were both set in our careers before taking the next step. Cal finally bought a ring in late August 2023. Even though he had a great relationship with Ken, Kaitlyn's dad, he had never been more nervous to talk to someone in his entire life about something, but still asked him for his blessing to ask Kaitlyn to marry him. It was cheesy, but Cal asked him over a plate of doordashed Wingstop and college football while all of the girls were out on Kaitlyn's sister's bachelorette party. If anyone knows Kaitlyn, they know that she is basically a second department of the CIA and FBI combined and will always know when something is up. Cal has never successfully held a secret for a gift, surprise, or anything of the sort. She knew the entire day when Cal was going to ask to marry her. It became pretty apartment at Wegerzyn Gardens Metropark that Cal was going to pop the question when members of family and friends were spotted running between bushes to avoid the literal ocean of high school kids in rented suits and short cocktail dresses trying to take Homecoming photos at the once empty and beautiful park that Cal scoped out a few days before. Ken made a special appearance walking in front of us in his bright Barney purple shirt with his phone camera out, pretending like we couldn't see him 2 feet in front of us, which gave it away pretty clearly (no second senses needed for that one!) Now we have been engaged for a little over a year and live together with our precious boys, Darry and Barney (cats). While planning a wedding and officially adulting on our own is difficult, we both feel ready for all challenges coming our way. 9 years with someone comes with lots of good times and struggles, but we have learned to love each other throughout all of it then, we still do now, and we always will moving forward. To everyone who has been a part of our journey together, big or small, we cherish and appreciate everything and everyone that has gotten us to this point: Our big wedding day! 9.20.2025
