Our Wedding

Alex and Kate met in the early hours on January 22, 2022, at L’Enfant Metro Station in Washington, DC. Both had been out the prior night and decided to metro home. While waiting for the train to arrive, Alex and Kate locked eyes with each other and knew there was something special. Once on the train, Kate built enough confidence to start a conversation. While talking, both learned they were interning in the US Senate. Phone numbers were exchanged, but both had different ideas on using their new contact. Alex took it as an opportunity to ask her out while Kate, who is just moving to DC from Tennessee, thought it would be a great contract for networking. Either way, they both decided to see each other on a date. After seeing each other for a while, Alex and Kate started to date. Both knew their time together would be limited, as Alex was returning to Germany, but they decided to make the most of it and try for long distance. Throughout the past 3 years, Alex and Kate took turns traveling across the world to see each other. They spent many holidays and special occasions by each other's side. Long distance made each of their meetings more special and meaningful.

Q + A

Airports

Best for direct flights from the US:Frankfurt Airport (FRA)- 2 hours 40 minutes away from Arnsberg by car, 3 hours by train Amsterdam Airport (AMS)- 3 hours away from Arnsberg by car, 5 hours by train Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG)- 6 hours 30 minutes from Arnsberg by car, 7 hours by train Best for flights with a layover from the US or within Europe:Dortmund Airport (DTM)- 30 minutes away from Arnsberg by car, 1 hours 45 minutes by train Duesseldorf Airport (DUS)- 1 hour 20 minutes away from Arnsberg by car, 2 hours 20 minutes by train Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN)- 1 hour 30 minutes away from Arnsberg by car, 2 hours 20 minutes by trainGenerally, we would recommend that you make the most of your time in Europe. If Arnsberg is not your first destination, we recommend flying into a major metropolitan area, such as Amsterdam or Paris, to explore the city for a few days and then go to Arnsberg. Both Paris and Amsterdam have very good public transportation connections throughout Europe, including to Arnsberg. Kate´s family flew into Paris on their first trip to Europe and took the train right into Arnsberg! However, we highly recommend renting a car as it is very easy to drive around to different countries!
