Our Wedding

We met during fencing at college. We were on separate squads, and Kate talked to like three people that first year of fencing, so it wasn't really until a year later we actually held a conversation.

September 2021

We tell people our official friendship start date was the end of September 2022, when Aaron hosted a banana fritter party for the fencing team. We thought it would be funny to mess with the team so Aaron came up with the idea to "fake date." No one really bought the idea that it was a joke, and really the only people who got clowned were Aaron and I.

September 2022

On March 6, 2023 we officially became girlfriend and boyfriend, though most of our friends would have said at that point we were already together for five months.

March 2023

We moved in together and Kate's cat-- Marie-- gained a second person to boss around 24/7

July 2024

Aaron planned a trip to Stowe, VT. It was cold and rainy nearly every day we were there, EXCEPT for Wednesday, May 21st. That day was warm and sunny and the day that Aaron proposed.

May 2025

We adopted a second cat! His name is Fish.
