Our Wedding

*The names Andrew and Hutch are used interchangeably throughout this story and refer to the same person*

Let’s be honest… it started with a common interest (Crocs) at some vague unpinpointable time over 2 years ago…

It started with Crocs...

It continued as Andrew and Kathleen were FORCED to hang out in a group of people who love Jesus and running

*Forced* together

As interest grew, the couple went through a series of odd events that only happen in college, including:

A Strange Series of Events...

It was actually on one of these tours that Hutch professed his undying love for Kathleen (or maybe stammered out a few words telling her that he liked her, to which the shocked Kathleen stammered back that the feeling was mutual).

During this two year period, Andrew and Kathleen did many things, such as visit academic buildings and go for walking dates together. They discovered there is nothing as romantic as going to the fourth floor of the education building and putting stickers on each other for Valentine’s day. Or getting in a car accident when trying to celebrate Hutch’s birthday. Or taking a trip to the ER on Thanksgiving for Hutch’s terrible case of influenza. Or drinking sweet corn flavored soda in Dekalb, IL, after running through some corn fields together.&nbsp;

The Dating Phase

They also ran lots of track and cross country races, graduated from college, started their first adult jobs, found a church together, and continued being silly ducks.

Andrew took Kathleen hiking. Together they scaled over rocks and tree roots together to a ledge with a beautiful view. Here, Hutch discovered a mysterious box in his pocket, which turned out to hold a ring that Kathleen could have only if she agreed to give Hutch her hand. She thought this was a good arrangement, so she cut off her hand and they exchanged the goods.

The PROPOSAL

Current time. Andrew and Kathleen have spent lots of time wedding planning, and they hope to see you there! (Really, they would only like to see you there if you were invited, if you were not invited, they still love you, but respectfully ask you not to show up)

Our Story

Chloe has known Kathleen since she was born, for which Kathleen is insanely glad:) They bond via dance parties, laughter, trips, deep talks, and tomato, pesto, and  mozzarella sandwiches. One day they will take a trip together to Antarctica, specifically, the Island of Fuzzy.

Chloe Walstrom

Chloe has been a consistent companion of Kathleen since middle school. This included many (many) trips to get ice cream, running track and cross country together, and going to Messiah together. This also included Chloe patiently listening to Kathleen moan on the floor about whether or not this hot runner dude was romantically interested in her or not ;)

Elizabeth and Kathleen share a love of art and making fun of Andrew (Hutch) together. 

Elizabeth Hutchinson

Connor and Kathleen ran track and cross country together at Messiah University, and became fast friends. They agree on most everything except for country music, healthy crackers, and the movie Father of the Bride. Connor helps keep Kathleen sane.

Connor Coggins

Amber was Kathleen's teammate and roommate in college. They have had many quality therapy sessions together, much laughter over goofy occurrences, and multitudes of conversations simply trying to figure life out.
