Things to Do

Registry

Hayden will tell you that from the moment he first saw Catherine in seventh grade, he had a feeling that one day she’d be the one. Over the years, they ran in the same circles—shared friend groups, classes, and countless memories throughout middle school, high school, and college summers. He tried a few times over the years to turn their friendship into something more, but the timing never seemed to line up. He wasn’t one to back down easily, though. Hayden knew what he wanted. Life kept them on separate paths after college graduation—Hayden in Nashville, Catherine in Tampa. Despite the distance, Hayden never lost sight of Catherine. As a testament to the Lord's sovereign intervention, Hayden ran into Laura Sewell at a restaurant, who tipped him off about Catherine’s next visit home. Hayden saw this as his chance and asked Catherine out on what would become their third and last first date. Catherine quickly began to admire and fall in love with Hayden in his patient and steadfast pursuit. These qualities revealed the depth of his character, and she knew he was the man she’d want to share a future with. Just as Hayden had known all those years ago, Catherine was always meant to be his, and he proposed on November 1st, 2024. The two are thrilled to celebrate their joyous wedding day together and with all those dear to their lives!
