“We were actually set up on a blind date! Kathryn had just started a new job when her co worker suggested she join her and her boyfriend for dinner. At the same time, the boyfriend asked his single friend on their soccer team to also join. We barely spoke to each other on the first date- the energy was so loud! But Matt somehow managed to ask Kathryn for her number later that day and the rest easily followed. We had a huge fight over directions hours before we got engaged! On a trip to Italy, we tried hiking a popular path and at the end of the trail, started arguing about which direction to take to get back to the hotel. We’re both a bit stubborn and refused to admit the other was right! Something important to note: Kathryn is very directionally challenged! This led to us eventually taking Kathryn’s route, because Matt was willing to let her try! Of course she was wrong. What was supposed to be a 40 minute walk back to the hotel turned into a 5 hour uphill walk and hiking down the cliff sides of Positano. We of course arrived 4 hours late, still arguing, and barely had time to change for dinner. But when we ran out the door 30-minutes later, Matt suggested we take another 100 steps down to the beach to take a photo. At this moment, with wobbly knees and weak ankles, Kathryn knew he was going to propose. There would be no other reason to take another 100 steps down a cliff!”
