Our Wedding

On October 4, 2013, in the charming town of Warren, PA, Kaitlyn and Erik crossed paths—completely unaware that they were about to become each other’s favorite person. From that moment on, they were inseparable. Later that month, they made it official, kicking off their relationship in true adventurous fashion. Their first date? A scenic motorcycle ride through the winding roads of Warren, PA, the crisp autumn air swirling around them, setting the perfect backdrop for the start of their relationship. On another one of their early dates they stopped at Bent Run, taking pictures that would later serve as proof that they were young, carefree, and capable of making good life choices—like choosing each other. Early on, their shared sense of humor definitely sealed the deal. Nothing says “soulmates” like standing outside the Variety Buffet in fake mustaches, laughing until their sides hurt. Was it weird? Maybe. Was it them? Absolutely. As the years have flown by, their love has grown stronger, built on laughter, adventures, and their two beloved fur babies, Grey Kitty and Schrodinger—who, let’s be honest, might secretly believe they run the house. Together, Kaitlyn and Erik have navigated life’s ups and downs, always finding joy in the little things (and, in poking fun at one another). Now, after over a decade of love, inside jokes, and way too many debates over what to watch on Netflix, they are thrilled for the next chapter—becoming husband and wife on May 17, 2025! They can’t wait to celebrate with their family, friends, and plenty of happy tears (and let’s be real, way too much cake). What started as a chance meeting in Warren, PA, has turned into a lifetime of love, proving that the best relationships are built on adventure, laughter, and just the right amount of ridiculousness.
