Our Wedding

Katie had just started a new job as a case manager. That same day, Ben arrived to turn in his weekly notes and saw Katie. Now, Ben had to come in weekly on Mondays but suddenly, Ben mysteriously found ways to be in the office almost every day....Katie as it so happened, had plans to move to the same street that Ben lived on. Ben was able to acclimate Katie to all of the happenings in West Chester, allowing for the beginning of their friendship and love. Their first date at Limoncello led to many more dates. High Street was the halfway point between their houses and was the go to spot for date night meeting to walk into town. To this day, driving by that spot brings back many fond memories. After years of fun, making new friends, finding new spots to hang out in, vacations and holidays, Ben had been offered an opportunity that he had been long waiting for at The Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore. This began a new adventure and new chapter in their lives. After finishing graduate school in Pennsylvania, Katie moved down to Maryland to join Ben.One day, Ben told Katie that he had a surprise trip for her to celebrate her graduation. Katie tried and tried but couldn't get him to spill the beans on where they were going. The closer they got, Katie realized they were going to their new favorite destination, Annapolis! Between parking and then walking to the hotel, Katie was being her usual chatty self walking ahead of Ben, oblivious to him behind her fumbling in his pocket for the ring. He finally caught up and suggested that they cut through the back of the Maryland State House grounds. Continuing to be oblivious, Katie kept walking until Ben put his hand in hers. Katie realized there was something in his hand, and knowing Ben and his silly side, assumed it was a joke. He then knelt down on one knee and showed that what was in his hand was in fact a gorgeous ring! He asked for Katie's hand and of course she said yes!!Our story continues...April 22nd, 2017 --Since then, we have been excitedly planning for our big day! We can't wait to share it with all of you and add it to the long list of cherished memories that we share.

Curious about how Ben and Katie met?

From the first awkward introduction the first day of college to Karalynne and Katie trudging through graduate school and Karalynne getting married to moving further apart, Katie and Karalynne have been through it all.

There certainly is never a dull moment when Adam Sarcia is present. Whether it is creating new pronunciations of the bride's last name ('Trepotle' comes to mind) or keeping Doug (Ben's dad) on task during a rowdy game of Yahtzee, Adam knows just what to say and with impeccable timing! We certainly are honored to have him as part of our wedding party. Ask him about the supplies joke.
