Katie and Ryan met in 2018 at a bar in Lincoln Park, Chicago (Gaslight, IYKYK). After "accidentally" giving Ryan the wrong number, their paths almost did not cross until Katie stumbled upon the error and gave Ryan the correct number weeks later. The two instantly hit it off with their love of food, exploring the city, socializing and all things Chicago. The couple was engaged in Maui, Hawaii, a place that will forever be special in their heart.
