Reception

Our Wedding

Catherine and Stephen met in August 2020 during the height of the pandemic. Despite living almost 2 hours away from one another, not even lockdowns could tear these two lovebirds apart. They met for their first date in Augusta, GA, for what was supposed to be a casual Mexican dinner date. When the restaurant was closed, and Stephen asked, "Do you like Asian food, how about sushi instead?" - Catherine was immediately smitten, as that's her all time favorite food. Neither person remembers the name of the restaurant or what they ate on the first date, but only laughing, good conversation, and having an absolutely incredible time together. It was truly love at first sight. After 4 months of traveling to and from Augusta to Athens, Stephen moved to Athens to be closer to Catherine. They enjoyed many fun nights out on the town, and nights in with Cheek, who immediately took to Stephen the moment she met him. Once Catherine shot the 2021 College Football National Championship, and felt her time in Athens had come to an end, they both decided to move to Roswell together and start this next chapter in Catherine's career with each other in 2022. Thank goodness Stephen works remotely, and can follow Catherine wherever her dreams take her next. After a year and a half of fun walks at the River, hitting up Canton Street, fun brunches with Diane Marszalik on the weekends and wonderful memories made together with our Atlanta friends, Stephen planned a fun dinner at their favorite local restaurant, Vas during the holiday season of 2023. Little did Catherine know, on December 3rd, 2023, Stephen would take her hand, walk up to the biggest Christmas tree in downtown Roswell, and ask for her hand in marriage. (Okay, she kind of had an idea... she's a wedding photographer, after all). The rest is history, and they both look forward to a lifetime of sushi dates, playing video games together, and giving Cheek lots of crunchy snacks. They both can't wait to celebrate with their flock and loved ones on November 9th, 2024 in Downtown Roswell, where they both said YES to forever. #thelovebirds2024
