Our Wedding

It all started with a plan to watch March Madness and cheer on Katelyn’s favorite team. Introduced by mutual friends, they met up with the simple goal of catching a game- what they didn’t expect was to spend the entire night talking instead. Ten hours flew by, and neither of them could tell you the final score of that game. What they remember is how something just clicked.Katelyn was instantly drawn to Joe’s dark hair, dimples, and the way he spoke so genuinely about his family, while also taking such a sincere interest in hers. Joe was captivated by Katelyn’s bright smile, blue eyes, and her eagerness to connect over his big family and favorite hobbies. The very next day, Joe asked Katelyn to dinner and from that moment on, they've been inseparable.Their journey together has been filled with adventure and laughter: from crossing National Parks off their bucket list, to exploring new states and countries, spending time with the people they love, and trying new hobbies along the way. One of their greatest joys? Being mom and dad to their golden doodle, Bruno.What they've built is more than a relationship-it’s a partnership, a friendship, and the kind of love that makes you say, “when you know, you know.” They're so excited to spend the rest of their lives as each other’s second half, best friend, and biggest supporter.Did you ever think walking into a bar could change your life? Because it changed theirs.- Katelyn &amp; Joe

Q + A

Book your room reservation for the Walsh- Somerville Wedding Block:<a href="https://www.hyatt.com/events/en-US/group-booking/ALBXY/G-WSWS" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hyatt.com/events/en-US/group-booking/ALBXY/G-WSWS</a> This Hyatt is our top recommendation for guests who would like to stay together, as the wedding party and immediate family will also be staying here. Rooms will be available at a rate of $239 per night, including breakfast, with suite options available as well. Since our wedding weekend coincides with Union College graduation, we strongly recommend booking your room as early as possible. On the wedding day, a shuttle will pick up guests from this hotel and transport everyone to the ceremony, with return service provided at the end of the night. For those interested in keeping the celebration going, join the happy couple afterward at The Bunker!
