Our Wedding

Katelyn and Craig met like any modern couple do these days; online. She picked the place, which ended up being a Starbucks; just in case Craig was a serial killer. He showed up early to an establishment, one that he wasn’t quite fond of, in hopes of meeting someone serious. They talked and talked. Then all of a sudden what was supposed to be a half an hour coffee date was five hours of talking and laughing. They then spent time exploring so many different places. She went with him on work trips during the pandemic and they explored The Grand Canyon of PA, to Mt. Vernon, and then to the World’s Largest General Store. They went to many concerts together: Skillet three times, Thomas Rhett, Shania Twain, and many more. They even were adopted as the proud parents of their fur baby, Buddy, hours after their engagement. Then adopted sassy Hazel to complete their family.&nbsp; When it came to the time of popping the question, the stage was set! She was clueless and thought the family really was having a fancy New Year’s Eve celebration that involved a posh restaurant and fireworks on the water at midnight. However, Covid struck at just the wrong moment. She, along with her entire family, had tested positive, all the while with no knowledge that he was already on a plane flying across the country to surprise her. Once he landed, they decided it was best to keep him safe and fly him home but not before she saw him. She drove him to the airport double masked and all, hearing of the grand plan of arriving at her doorstep with their song playing in the background. Then taking a limo ride to dinner and fireworks with family there to celebrate it all. Once they got to the airport, he got on one knee and asked. She said YES, of course and was blown away by his elaborate and thoughtful plan.

Starting as friends from down the street, Joe and Craig, along with awkward Kevin, have been the terrible trio causing chaos across the neighborhood.
