Rob and Katie met in the summer of 2011 at a party. Rob walked in and Katie was sitting on the floor in a corner with her friends holding a bowl, bigger than her, full of cheese puffs (very romantic, I know). Rob knew right then and there that he needed to meet this girl stuffing her face with cheese puffs.

The two went on their first date in June 2011 at Jamba Juice in the Streets of Woodfield. From there, the two embarked on a year long journey of friendship.

Fast-forward 13 months, July 4, 2012, to be exact, Rob picked Katie up from her home to go to a July 4th celebration. On the way there, he pulled his car over, went to his trunk, and presented Katie with a large Hersheys Kiss. Displayed on the custom paper ribbon read "Will you be my girl and seal it with a kiss?"

The following month the couple went to Warren Dunes in Michigan. There, at the top of the highest dune, Rob first told Katie that he loved her. Jumping ahead two years to July 2014, in that very spot, Rob gifted Katie a promise ring for their anniversary as a token of his love and commitment for her, in promise to one day marry her. This promise holds true, as four years later, Rob proposed.
