Our Wedding

A little over two years ago, Kaitlin and I sat adjacent to one another on a crisp Sunday evening in September. We had both moved into a temporary intern dorm that morning and were out socializing with three other early arrivals. Little did I know at the time, but this casual night out would be the first of many late nights spent talking, joking and laughing with my future wife.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our relationship started slowly and gradually grew as we spent more and more time with one another.&nbsp; Some of our best moments of those early few months were spent joking about nothing in particular over a deck of playing cards or dressing up to visit a new sight or restaurant in DC. Before I knew it though, we both had fallen deeply for one another. As we continue to creep ever more closer to our wedding day, I can’t help but smile thinking about all the late nights we’ve spent laughing over the silliest of moments and the late nights yet to come.&nbsp;

If you ask John

I was embarking on a new adventure during my senior year of college, with an internship in DC to make a difference in other’s lives. Although, I didn’t realize this “relocation” would actually cause a difference in my life. To be honest, moving to DC and then to live in a building with hardly any space for yourself with others was already enough change. However, my mom insisted that my experience would likely be better since I would be sharing it with others, and that I should fill out the application. Reluctantly, I signed the form to move into the Richardson Intern Housing without knowing what next steps would unfold into a run in with a boy named John Walker. However, this interaction only began from my “less than perfect” math skills with probability and a video game. I bet $20 that I would absolutely roll a number less than two on the die on the screen. John, with the upper hand of being a mathematician, happily agreed. We shook on it, I rolled the die, and I rolled a four. I’m sure John said something in a playful banter, however in my memory we just continued with the game night.&nbsp; The next morning I reached out in a text offering to pay my debt, where John offered all his possible pay options, “cash, card, and coffee with good conversation.” Those who know me know I could not pass up coffee, so we took our first date at Levain in Georgetown (huge recommendation to those who visit us.) Now, you are reading our sides to this story of what will be our “Happily, Ever, Ever.”
