In August of 2019, Katie and William met on the first day of college at NC State. The two wide-eyed freshman were introduced by Katie’s lifelong friend and William’s new roommate, Beckett Stillman.

It didn’t take long for Katie to insist they become more than just friends! In December, they began a relationship that would span four amazing years of college, with lots of great friends and memories made along the way.

Upon graduating in May of 2023, Katie and William moved together to Richmond, VA to start the next chapter of their lives together. The following April, they were engaged in Hilton Head, SC.

Katie and William can’t wait to celebrate their love for one another with all their friends and family, next July!
