Our Wedding

David and Katy met on Upward (a christian dating app) at the very end of 2021. Katy had just had a pretty major surgery on her foot and was off of work for 10 weeks! Because of this there was a lot more freedom for us to talk and meet up in person. For the entirety of our relationship we have been long distance with Katy living in Laramie, WY and David living in Arvada, CO. For our first date we decided to meet up at the halfway point in Fort Collins, CO on January 8th, 2022. Katy was on a knee scooter, due to just having foot surgery ,and David still managed to sweep her off her feet (or should I say foot).We have had some fun and challenging times trying to spend as much time as we could in person. Lots of time spent on the road to get back and forth to be together. We have spent countless hours on the phone and Facetime just to see and hear each other's voices while we were apart.We spent time with each others families and met extended family members through different occasions.Through all of this we fell in love and dreamed about the future.On May 7th, 2023 our story came full circle. On our drive back to Laramie from a wedding in Colorado David pulled into downtown Fort Collins (the place where we had our first date), parked, and hopped out of the car, grabbed Katy from the car, got down on one knee and asked Katy to be his wife!We are enjoying and working through the challenges of engagement as we await our Wedding Day on September 9th, 2023.
