Our Wedding

Kate and Sean met as teenagers first semester freshman year of college at Auburn University in the fall of 2019. Apart of the same friend group, they quickly became close friends.

On October 3rd, 2020, Kate and Sean went to Athens for the Auburn-UGA football game. Sean told Kate he liked her!

On Halloween night at midnight (November 1st, 2020) and on Samford lawn, Sean asked Kate to be his girlfriend. She said yes!

From football games to sorority date nights and every moment in between, Kate and Sean were together.

Then came graduation!

They moved to Atlanta and got their first apartment together in June, 2023!

During a trip to Japan and on October 31st, 2024, Sean proposed to Kate. (Spoiler: She said yes!). That night they hit the streets of Shibuya in costume!

Up next….the wedding!!!
