Reception

Our Wedding

It all started at University Hospital in Tamarac where Katie works in the ER.... Chad brought Katie a patient at the hospital and asked if she wanted a snack - an orange or a chocolate muffin. Katie chose the orange and Chad was hooked!&nbsp;He asked for her number to set up a training session at Crossfit.Although the Crossfit date didn't happen that weekend, they did go to Tarpon Bend with Katie's friends, Mary &&nbsp;Jordon, and the rest is history! Thank God for oranges and Crossfit!!

How We Met

Chad and Katie were in&nbsp;Paris in April 2018 to celebrate their 3rd anniversary. While exchanging anniversary cards, Chad told Katie he had a surprise for her that&nbsp;Friday morning but&nbsp;it would&nbsp;require&nbsp;them to&nbsp;be up and out of their hotel really&nbsp;early!&nbsp;

Friday morning came and they headed out in&nbsp;a taxi. &nbsp;They arrived at Sacre Coeur - the big white church on the hilltop overlooking Paris. Katie had been mentioning this place all week and Chad seemed uninterested. Stephen, their photographer arrived shortly after for their "sunrise photoshoot"&nbsp;(as Chad called it).



On the terrace that overlooks the entire city of Paris,&nbsp;Chad got down on one knee!&nbsp;After their photoshoot, they celebrated with champagne and breakfast where they facetimed their parents to share the good news! The rest of their day was spent napping,&nbsp;eating tuna poke bowls&nbsp;& drinking rose on their hotel balcony.
