Our Wedding

Katie and Carter met in high school freshmen year and became best friends over the next few years. Junior year after some steadfast pursuit on Carter’s end, he asked her to prom and they began dating! Through finishing out high school and doing long distance between Virgina and Arkansas for a little bit, they continued to love each other more and more. On September 12th, 2025 Carter asked Katie to marry him and she tearfully accepted! A little over one year later they will be tying the knot with all of their favorite people!
