Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Chance and Katie met on March 10th, 2022. Katie just accepted a new job in Kansas City (KC) working with the KC Current in the National Womens Soccer League as their High-Performance Coach and Sports Scientist. Chance was living in KC working as a Registered Nurse in the Intensive Care Unit at North KC Hospital at the time. A couple days after Katie moved into her new home in KC at Union Berkley Riverfront apartments, she met Chance. Katie was walking down the hallway on the third floor rolling a big Nike duffle roller bag. Chance was walking behind Katie and asked her why it always looked like she was going to the airport with that big Nike duffle roller bag. Katie had just returned from training camp in Florida. Katie would have to transport her STATSports GPS system and equipment to and from practice each day during that time. Katie explained this all to Chance after he asked that question to her. They continued to talk and walk down the hallway to the parking garage. Chance was wearing a University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK) Wrestling sweatshirt that day as he was on the way to workout. Katie asked Chance about his sweatshirt, and he explained how he wrestled at UNK. Katie went into talking about her brothers and how they wrestled at The University of Iowa and South Dakota State University (SDSU.) Chance then asked who Katies brothers were, and he explained that he had heard of them as he was originally from Chadron, Nebraska which was only an hour and a half away from Katies hometown of Rapid City, South Dakota. After this conversation, Chance welcomed Katie to KC, and they went about their days. Later that day, Chance added Katie on the socials. Chance then sent Katie a direct message asking her on their first date. Katie said yes, and it was the best first date ever:) Chance and Katie continued to go on dates and explore KC together. Chance introduced Katie to his friend group, and Katie introduced Chance to her KC Current staff friend group. Chance officially asked Katie to be his girlfriend in April of 2022. Chance and Katie met each others families shortly after. Chance and Katie loved living in KC and making memories whether it was BBQ dinners, drinks at local breweries, NFL games, NWSL games, MLB games, walking their dogs at the park next to the Missouri River, picnics in the park watching the sunset, pickleball games, summer concerts at The Power &amp; Light District, arcade games at Up- Down, enjoying family time, or just spending time with friends. They had the best time and made amazing memories! In April of 2023, Chance and Katie moved in together. After living right down the hallway on the third floor of Union Berkley Riverfront apartments, it was time to move in together:) Later that year on July 21st, 2023, at Union Station in KC under the beautiful sunset, Chance got down on one knee in front of family and friends and proposed to Katie! She said YES! Chance planned an incredible proposal and engagement party including all of their family and friends! In August of 2023, Chance moved to Sioux Falls, SD to attend Nurse Anesthesia School at Mount Marty Universities Sioux Falls campus. Katie was finishing her NWSL season, so she remained in KC with their dogs- Royal, Finn, and Fiona. Upon conclusion of the KC Current soccer season, Katie moved to Sioux Falls in December of 2023. Chance continues the didactic portion of Nurse Anesthesia School, while Katie works at SDSU as a Strength &amp; Conditioning Consultant and at the Orthopedic Institute of Performance doing Personal Training. Once Chance finishes the didactic portion in August 2024, Chance and Katie will move back to Rapid City for his two years of clinicals. Chance and Katie are excited to be coming home to The Black Hills and to be close to both of their families and friends again just in time for their wedding:) Nowadays, you can find Chance and Katie exploring new places, trying new foods/ drinks, walking their three dogs, playing golf, spending quality time with family and friends, planning their wedding, chasing their dreams, and loving building their life together:)
