Our Wedding

Our story began on the slopes of Brandywine Ski Resort. Connor was skiing, Katie was snowboarding, and a random conversation on the way up the hill somehow turned into… everything. Katie was 15, Connor was 16, and they have been together ever since. Even though they went to different high schools, they spent the next few years growing up together through late night calls, weekend drives, hikes, and many dinner dates. After graduation, they both ended up at the University of Mount Union, turning study sessions into date nights and plans into a future. The fall after Katie graduated college, Connor planned the best surprise proposal. After she said yes, both of their families were waiting to celebrate with brunch, making the moment even more perfect. They can’t wait to begin the next chapter surrounded by the people they love most!
