Although Connor and Katie met in 2019... sometimes the right person at the wrong time does exist.

Connor and Katie's story began through Instagram (how romantic right?) Katie knew Connor was handsome, tall (like really tall), and athletic. Katie 'liked' the last picture Connor posted that was posted years prior, knowing Connor would notice Katie was looking at his page. The next day Connor, 'liked' two of Katie's last posts. Connor then proceeded to message Katie on Instagram and ask, "Is this what we're doing now?" (if you know Connor and how sarcastic he is... shocking right?)

Appreciating his sarcastic personality and knowing his heart was in the right place... Katie agreed to meet Connor in person. Even though they had a great connection, there were so many things happening in life and they went their separate ways.

Little did either of them know at that time... they had let go of their person.

Fast forward 3 whole years... Connor randomly messaged Katie on Instagram again asking to go to a playoff Sixers game VS the Heat on May 8, 2022.

They talked the entire car ride up about what had happened in those 3 years and where they currently were in life and connected again like they had never separated. Throughout the game, Katie was paying close attention to Connor's gestures. Connor snapped once to a bad play/shot and twice for a good play/bucket. Katie reciprocated and snapped twice when Harden was making just about every basket that game... As soon as Connor realized Katie had snapped twice they took a moment to look at one another and just laugh...

To this day they say "you had me at the double snap."

They became inseparable after that first date and everyday has been nothing short of amazing sharing life with one another.

The Sixers played the Heat in the playoffs again on April 17, 2024, and Katie had no idea that would be the night Connor proposed.

Our love story will only continue to grow and we cannot wait to celebrate with our favorite people when we say "I do".

We can't wait to see you there ;)
