While we are beyond grateful that we get to share our day with so many people that we love, we would like to dedicate our wedding day to our loved ones who couldn't be here with us. We know you are here in spirit celebrating our love, and we miss you dearly.

Katie’s Grandparents

Paternal

Diana (Nov. 17, 1930- Jan. 7, 2017) and John F. O’Grady, COL, USAF (Aug. 31, 1929 - April 10, 1967)

Peter Kummer (Oct. 20, 1927 - April 5, 2008)

Matt’s Grandparents

Maternal

Mark (Nov. 7, 1927 - Sept. 21, 2009) and Rosalia Fangman (Dec. 2, 1932 - June 17, 2012)

Paternal

Henry (Feb. 24, 1913 - Aug. 3, 1974) and Loretta Steinlage (Aug. 3rd 1914 - Dec. 2, 2001)

Both the ring that Matt proposed with, and the wedding band that goes with it, are the very same rings that Henry Steinlage gave to Loretta Wessel in 1940. We want to express our gratitude to Loretta and Henry’s daughters; Theresa, Joann, Mary Kay, and Rosemary for deciding to pass these rings down to Matt. They could not be any more perfect for us, and we will cherish them forever.
