When Katie was a Freshman and Lee was a Senior at UF they briefly met at Beta. Their friendship in their college days was short-lived (so short that they both didn't remember each other, but have a group picture to confirm). However, they both moved to Atlanta for their first jobs post college and rekindled their friendship.

For the first time in 4 years, Katie was sad to not be at the Swamp for a home Gator game, but her friend in Beta, Jaryd, invited her over for a tailgate. When she walked in she saw a couple familiar faces, but the one that stood out the most was Lee Gubernick holding a Gold Four Loko! Katie and Lee hung out the entire day, but eventually lost each other at the Gator Bar without getting each others' numbers.

A couple Gator Games later... Katie called Jaryd to see what the boys were doing for gameday and mentioned she was going to the Gator Bar with her friends to watch. Supposedly, the boys had other plans for the day, but Lee begged his friends to go to the bar Katie was at instead. Then, he finally asked Katie for her number and out on a date! From then on they were inseparable.

Their love took them all over the world from Chicago to Punta Cana and even across the pond to Barcelona and Lisbon. The only thing that slowed down their travel was the addition of their amazing pup Allie........ and Covid.

After a few years in Atlanta, the couple decided to move back down to Florida where both of their families were located. Lee proposed a month later on Amelia Island with both of their parents present and a surprise appearance by Katie's best friend (shoutout Courtney). Katie and Lee look forward to sharing their special day with everyone!
