Kat and Pat met in 2020, amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic. After a few days of chatting and getting to know each other, the two made plans for first date (outdoors of course), of ice cream in a local park on a warm summer night. The two hit if off, talking for hours (so long that they were kicked out of the park by a local police traffic officer) and finding much in common.

With many traditional date venues and settings closed, Kat and Pat found creative ways to spend time together. The two made countless trips to parks, historical sites, scenic overlooks and fancy new grocery stores like Stew Leonard's and Wegman's - becoming inseparable in the process.

Kat and Pat's love continued to grow, as the pair spent the next 4 years traveling, laughing, enjoying many delicious homemade and restaurant prepared meals, and generally enjoying each other's company. There were some big events along the way too, like moving in and eventually purchasing their first home together.

In Spring of 2024, Pat began conspiring with Kat's friend (and Maid of Honor) Molly - who helped craft the perfect proposal. The plan was set in motion on a Memorial Day Weekend trip to Boston, with Kat and Pat heading to visit Molly and husband Steve. After meandering through Beacon Hill and settling along the Charles River esplanade for a picnic, Pat got down on one knee and popped the question. Kat said yes, and the rest is history!
