To any and all who plan to be in attendance for our afternoon and evening of celebration, you have all impacted the love and the life we have been able to create with each other. Whether you have extended invitations to family functions, shared kind words of love and support or just reached out to us in trying times, we thank you.

Welcome

Katie's Version:Steph and I met online and became friends in March 2022. But after our first meet up, it was clear that there were sparks between us. We bonded while talking over our beverages (Mexican mocha for her, latte for me) and talked about everything from music, to life, to family to growing up experiences. Our date ended after a little record store shopping and walking around Tower District. Three hours later we were still talking. Steph drove me home, met my (now our) dogs and we were off on our journey. We want our wedding to be a combination of everything that's been true for us as a couple: something that honors our histories and our futures, the families and friends who shaped us into who we are, and the love we have for each other, and all of you who will be celebrating with us. Steph's Version:We met on Bumble. So the dating app worked, lol. It all started with a message about travel. I would message her on Mondays and Fridays for a few weeks. Ya know, just checking in on her and making small talk. Fast forward to 2 months later...a few days after a 3 hour texting conversation and slight IG stalking, she asked for a coffee date. (I was clueless, Thought we were just meeting in person for coffee...literally). Can first dates last 4 hours when there's no food or movie involved? Yes. For us it was coffee and plenty of effortless conversation. (Side note: picture you see above...coffee shop where we first met :-)) Yes, we made our way to the record store. As we were sifting through records, "Alone" by Heart started playing through the speakers. I stopped mid sift and said "Oh, I love this song." She placed her hand on my arm and exclaimed, "Me too! I love heart!" What can I say, I hold that memory very dear to me. After that, we were seeing each other every weekend. After endless song dedications and using, "I like you. Like, really really LIKE you." I finally caved. I knew she was the one. (She proposed though, 2 years later.) All I'm tryna say isThere's a difference between "Miss you" and "I miss your face"There's a difference in "What's going on?" and "Baby how was your day?"Yeah, there's a hell of a difference in saying three words or kinda just meaning twoThere's a difference in "Love ya" and "I Love You"And I wanna be the difference...---Tyler Rich 3 years later, here we are. Through all the love and laughs we've been able to experience with each other, have also come trials, tears and fears of the unknown. But through it all, we are reminded that as long as we have each other...we'll be okay. I am so lucky to have met the person who gets me. Who has embraced all my quirks and my Halloween and horror movie obsessions, lol. We all need someone to go through life with and I am beyond blessed to have finally found mine. She says I smell like safety and homeI named both of her eyes forever and please-don't-goI could be a morning sunrise all the time, yeahThis could be good, this could be goodI can't change, even if I triedEven if I wanted toMy love, my love, my love, my loveShe keeps me warmShe keeps me warm...---Mary Lambert
