Our Wedding

Anyone who knows Kaitlyn and Kyle, know that this love story started a very long time ago. It was 2009, Kaitlyn was a Sophomore in High School and Kyle was a Junior. One day Kyle decided to kick the chair out from under Kaitlyn in accounting class (when he had never even spoken to her) somehow she found this charming, and the rest was history. There is not enough time in the day to explain how these two took the "long way around" so we will just say that it took these two a while to get on the same page. But once they did (it only took 15+ years and a few tries at dating) they knew that each other were "Still the One". So they decided on forever!

How We Met

On September 28th, 2024 Kaitlyn and Kyle headed down to The University of Notre Dame for their green out game against Louisville. When they woke up and got ready to head to South Bend that morning Kaitlyn was so excited because she had never been to Notre Dame! Anyone who knows Kyle knows that he has been a die hard ND fan his entire life. So Kaitlyn was excited to start making memories, and to take a bunch of pictures (if you know, you know) at a place that Kyle cherished so much. Little did she know (watch the proposal video she clearly had no idea that this was going to happen) that this would be the day that she got the largest (and best) surprise of her life! After walking around on campus (looking at the campus, reading all of the buildings and asking if the words were Latin, and taking the picture that she wanted in front of Touchdown Jesus) Kyle would get down on one knee while taking that picture and ask her to be his forever (we think, because we both blacked out). This amazing day did not end there. Once Kyle proposed he showed Kaitlyn that her little sister (not by blood, but by choice) was there with her husband to capture it all on camera and spend the rest of the day with them at the game! We love you Erika and Trent! When Kaitlyn and Kyle got home (after being pulled over by a trooper in Ohio, thank goodness for no ticket!) Kyle planned for Kaitlyn's friends Alex &amp; Kayla to come over and surprise her by decorating their house, and celebrating with a cocktail! Oh and Notre Dame beat Louisville in their Green out, Go Irish!
