Katie

Our story begins in a non-traditional, distinctly modern way: matching on a dating app. Although unconventional, our beginning is a perfect example of how the Lord's hand is in all things and he even works through technology to bring soulmates together!

After a few exchanged messages, we had our first date that week at a coffee shop in our college town. We talked for hours and I was absolutely smitten. Weeks went by of more dates on and off-campus, Mason skipping classes to see me (Sorry to break it to you, Shannon and Russ), and us falling more and more for each other!

It was your typical college romance: attending date parties and formals together, cheering on the Aggies in Kyle Field, and spending late nights studying. We felt like we'd known each other our whole lives. We couldn't stop laughing and smiling when we were together. We became each other's rock, safe space, and best friend.

We knew we wanted to get married several months into our relationship. I knew he was everything I want in a husband. He exhibits all the fruits of the spirit: incredibly loving, with the biggest heart I've ever known. He is joyful, and that joy is contagious. He has a spirit of peace, is patient beyond measure, and is so, so kind. He is a good man, one that is deserving of all the good things there are in the world. He is faithful, leading both of us in our walk with Christ, encouraging me to rest my gaze towards heaven. He is the most gentle person in the world, and has so much self control.

Katie is beautiful inside and out. She has the biggest heart of anyone I’ve met and is filled with a contagious amount of joy. Katie has never failed to put a smile on my face. Through every high and low, Katie has been there with her beautiful smile. A brilliant mind coupled with an incredible work ethic has allowed Katie to pursue her dreams. I am always amazed by all of the amazing aspects she has, I truly have struck gold. I couldn’t ask for a more incredible woman to marry.

On our one year, Mason asked me to be his wife. It was the easiest "Yes" of my life! Since then, we've graduated college, moved to Houston, gotten our first jobs, and bought a house. Through it all, we've fallen more and more in love with each other. We see the Father's heart in our relationship, and we love each other like Christ loves the Church: sacrificially, unconditionally, and always serving one another. We are both so excited to build a marriage that honors the Lord and honors each other every day.

We are so excited to celebrate with you all. Our prayer is that this day and our entire marriage glorifies Christ and shows others how faithful He is. See you all in June!
