Katie and Adam met on Bumble—of all places—and quickly realized this might be something special. After plenty of back-and-forth messages, they went on their first date at Arcademie, an arcade bar in downtown Evansville, on December 8, 2022.

Things moved fast (like meet-my-family-for-the-holidays fast). After some serious social media investigating by Katie’s friends and family, she got the green light to join Adam at his mom’s Christmas/New Year’s gathering—two hours away. Adam later received plenty of grief for that bold move, but it worked out. By January 1, 2023, Adam officially asked Katie to be his girlfriend on the walking bridge connecting Jeffersonville and Louisville (a date chosen strategically so he’d never forget their anniversary).‎

Despite living an hour apart, they spent as much time together as possible. After countless dates, meals, and miles driven, Katie moved in with Adam after graduating in Winter 2023. Adjusting to life together—Katie the neat perfectionist, Adam… less so—came with its moments, but they figured it out as a team. That team grew when they welcomed their dachshund, Oakley, who quickly became the center of their world.‎

On March 1, 2025, Adam proposed at the Newburgh waterfront. While Katie had a few hints (and Adam’s shadow may have given him away), the answer was an easy “yes.” And that brings us here. Thank you for being part of our journey in one way or another—we’re so happy to share our not-so-traditional, perfectly-ours love story with you 🤍‎
