Twas the first football Sunday of the year in 2016:

&nbsp;Evan and his friends were spending their usual Sunday ritual at the "church" of Stumble Inn. Kait and her girlfriends decided to kick-off the season with a Sunday Funday at Stumble. Their mutual friend, Kristyn DeMartinis, was with Kait & crew and suggested to meet up with the guys. Unbeknownst to Kait,&nbsp;Evan had been asking Kristyn to bring her&nbsp;around for months (ooo&nbsp;somebody&nbsp;had a crush). Well, as the story goes, Evan & Kait hit it off almost immediately. They laughed, played beer pong together, and exchanged numbers.&nbsp;



Kait knew she had found someone special when later that day she fell off a Citibike, scraping her arm, and Evan came running (MY&nbsp;HERO).&nbsp; Their night ended with a kiss in a photo booth, but neither knew it was the start of an amazing journey. In just three years, they have traveled the world, experienced amazing adventures, and continue to cross off bucket list goals together. But most of all, they can not freaking wait to celebrate their wedding with all of&nbsp;their friends and family.



THE&nbsp;END.. well, really just the beginning!

How We Met

Well here we are, almost a year in to the pandemic, with all of our lives forever changed. We hope you are all safe and soon to be vaccinated!&nbsp;Our quarantine, although difficult, has given us an amazing opportunity to spend lot (and lots)&nbsp;of time together. Through this time we have flourished, getting closer each day, binged a ton of Netflix, and best of all, adopted an amazing puppy named Finn.&nbsp;Although no one knows what the future holds, that is pretty much life in general, and we are ready to overcome any additional obstacles together, pandemic or not. We truly hope we can get everyone together, safely,&nbsp;in May to celebrate our love, and celebrate seeing all your beautiful faces once again. Love, Kait &&nbsp;Evan&nbsp;
