George and Katie met on the historic Woodstock Square in Woodstock IL. Katie was out with some of her friends. A group of boys had walked by the restaurant that Katie and her friends were playing pool in one of the restaurants. Katie spotted George right off the bat stating how handsome he was to her other friends. As Katie and her friends left the restaurant her friends stated that they should go over and talk with them. Katie stated no, since she was nervous. However Katie and her group of friends did end up talking with the other group. George and Katie hit it right off. Katie and George then ended up exchanging numbers and hanging out the following weekend. Over the course of maybe a couple weeks or a month Katie knew she wanted to date George. So instead of waiting for George to ask. Katie asked him. To which to he said yes. Now 9 years later they are engaged and happier than they could have ever imagined.
