Nick and Katie's story began when they met at a pool party that Katie’s mom hosted for the incoming sixth-graders. Although they had previously attended different schools, they hit it off and were nearly instantly great friends. Not long later, in the seventh grade, Nick finally built up the courage to ask Katie to be his girlfriend while skiing at White Pass. Although that relationship was short-lived (Nick was too nervous to talk to her after that) it wasn't the end of their love story.

Fast forward three years later, in the summer after freshman year of high school, Nick and Katie started dating again, and this time, it stuck. They spent their high school years falling in love and creating unforgettable memories. They enjoyed concerts, attended dances, studied together, and cheered each other on during their football and soccer games. They graduated high school as co-salutatorians, and when it came time for college, they both decided to attend the University of Washington.

As fate would have it, they moved in as freshman two doors down from each other, and shortly after were both accepted into the Foster School of Business. They were inseparable during their college years, bonding over their shared interests in cheering on the Dawgs, exploring new restaurants and wineries around Seattle, traveling to new places, and the occasional frat party.

Their love continued to grow stronger as they faced challenges together, from making it through the pandemic years and graduating together, earning their Master's degrees, and starting their careers at the same firm - Nick and Katie even passed their CPA exams together!

In the summer of 2023, Nick proposed to Katie during a girls wine-tasting trip in Yakima that he had planned with Katie’s friends. He had designed her ring in secret over that summer and rented out a winery from the girls’ itinerary for the proposal. Nick asked her to marry him, and to add to Katie's surprise, their family and friends showed up moments later to celebrate.

Their relationship is built on values like respect, loyalty, trust, and so much love for each other and their friends. Nick and Katie can't wait to continue growing together and supporting each other in all aspects of life.

They are beyond excited to celebrate their wedding day surrounded by the friends and family that are such important pieces of their relationship and lives.
