KATE

In 2021, the pandemic was in full swing and I was home from Texas A&M taking classes online. I waitressed at the Wine Haus, a small restaurant that was on Hwy 90 in Flatonia, Texas.

Blake played music on the weekends and just so happened to be playing one Saturday night in October with a friend. Business was so slow that evening that my coworker told me to go home early. As I was packing up, in walks a tall man with a cowboy hat and a guitar. I set down my things.

A strange feeling came over me and I messaged one of my closest friends, "The guy I'm going to marry just walked through the door."

At the end of the night, I found two pieces of leftover chocolate cake in the kitchen and asked if the guys would like any as an excuse to talk to Blake. We met for coffee the week after and the rest is history.

BLAKE

Kate and I connected over a mutual love for the outdoors, hunting, traveling, music, reading, and our faith. We enjoy working cattle together, riding horses, going to the deer lease, and spending time with our families. We both have big families that we are incredibly close to, and feel lucky to each fit in so well. We are excited to celebrate our marriage with all the people who love us best!

THE ENGAGEMENT

We got engaged on our trip to Colorado in June of 2024. Check out pictures from our trip below!
