Our Wedding

Katherine and Rob met on Hinge in 2021, as the world was slowly remembering how to function. Timing, as it turns out, is everything. Katherine's first impression? Cautiously optimistic. Rob seemed funny and normal, but she had one real litmus test: did he match her taste in food? One look at his profile, a picture of him eating a cheeseburger, and she was sold. Rob saw a burger on her profile and felt the exact same way. What they didn't know yet was that the universe had already been trying to introduce them for years. One of Rob's friends since preschool happened to work with one of Katherine's best friends from college in DC. Those friends planned a trip to a ranch in Texas, inviting both Katherine and Rob separately, but neither could make it. Meanwhile, back in Houston, Katherine and Rob worked at the same company, on the same client, and even exchanged messages with each other without having any idea who was on the other end. The world kept putting them in the same room. It took until March 2021, and a Hinge match, to finally make it stick. Since then, they've pushed each other into corners they never saw coming. Katherine has somehow become a golfer — to everyone's surprise, including her own. In return, Rob is now fully caught up on reality TV and can hold his own in any celebrity gossip conversation. Neither has complaints. Together, they bring out the best in each other. Rob's warmth and humor remind Katherine not to take life too seriously, pushing her to embrace the spontaneous and unexpected. Katherine's loyalty and thoughtfulness keep him anchored — the steady, caring force behind every big dream he dares to chase. They're counting down to November, and they can't wait to celebrate with everyone they love. K &amp; R
