Our Wedding

Katherine moved to the Phoenix area in 2017, about a year after Kris moved to the area. A couple of years later, they met and had their first date at Cartel Coffee in Old Town, Scottsdale. Since then, Katherine and Kris have bonded over their shared love of food, animals, and travel. They love sharing new traditions, the latest being an annual 5k run together.On January 15, 2022, they were walking to meet a friend and walked by Cartel Coffee. Unknowingly to Katherine, this was part of Kris' proposal plan. Kris bent down on one knee, and the moment was captured by his friend Austin. They celebrated their engagement with friends and by doing what they love best: traveling (with family to Hawaii!) and enjoying all the best food of the area.
