Kate and Evan first met in the summer of 2011 at a picnic for the Ballet Theatre of Scranton, where they connected right away over mutual acquaintances at Bristol Riverside Theatre. They met again in Los Angeles in February of 2013, re-introduced by their mutual friend Kat West, and the rest is history!

Kate and Evan live in Astoria, where Evan proposed on September 5, 2015 (Kate's birthday) with a vintage ring from 1910. They love cooking (if you haven't tried their pizza, you're missing out), road trips, and murder mysteries, and are excited to celebrate their wedding with you!
