Our Wedding

Our story starts in June of 2014 after Kaitlyn's freshman and Ian's junior year of high school. We were hanging out with our friends at the Gasparetti's house when we met and quickly became friends. We spent the whole summer getting to know each other, taking group trips to Dorney Park, and snapchatting throughout the night. When school started back up in August, we quickly got into a routine of hanging out after school whenever we were free. October 6th was a bit different though. After school, we went to the store to pick up the ingredients needed to bake a cake for Nancy's birthday, and by the end of the night Ian had asked me to officially be his girlfriend so we would be together at the party we were going to that weekend. The rest is history. Together we have been through high school and college graduations, our first grownup jobs, a home rental, buying our first home, so many vacations, and family weddings. Now, after 10 years, it's finally our turn! We are so lucky to have been together for so many big milestones, and can't wait to see what else the future has in store for us!
