Our Love Story: A Tapestry Woven in Football Fields and Snapchat Stories

Hey there, friends and family! We're Carson and Katharine, and we're thrilled to share our journey with you, from the football fields of Olivet Nazarene University to the moment Carson popped the question.

Carson's Perspective: The Taped Destiny

Back in 2019, during my freshman year at Olivet Nazarene University, I was navigating the world of college football as a wide-eyed freshman. Little did I know that a certain athletic training student named Katharine would become my game-changer. I'd strategically find reasons to get my wrists taped by her – a tactic I thought was sly at the time.

Fast forward to October, Katharine visited a friend in my hometown, creating the perfect opportunity for us to truly connect. A month later, I gathered the courage to take her on a date, and that's when our official journey began. Three and a half years of shared adventures and laughter later, I knew it was time to take the next step.

Katharine's Perspective: Snapshots of Serendipity

Picture this: football season at Olivet Nazarene University in 2019. I'm knee-deep in my athletic training rotation, taping wrists left and right. Little did I know, Carson was making intentional trips to me for his tape jobs. Sneaky, right?

Our story took an unexpected turn when I posted a Snapchat story during a visit to the Quad Cities. Carson, always the smooth operator, slid into my DMs. The rest, as they say, is history. He officially asked me to be his girlfriend during a charming dinner at Brickstone in Bourbonnais on November 2, 2019.

Carson had always teased, "You will have NO idea when I propose to you." True to his word, I was completely surprised when he popped the question. It was a beautiful nod to how our paths first crossed through Athletic Training.

Our Forever Beginning

And so, here we are, embarking on a new chapter as we plan to say "I do." We can't wait to celebrate with you all and continue writing the pages of our love story. Thanks for being a part of our journey!

With love,

Carson & Katharine
