How did you two meet?
Trace: "Katie and I have known one another for quite a while. We grew up in the same church and school in Montgomery, Alabama. During high school, we became close friends, if not best friends, and slowly began to develop feelings for one another. I knew I liked Katie once I started to get nervous around her and enjoyed how much she made me laugh. We started dating when we were 15 and have been together for almost 7 years."
How and when did Trace propose?
Katie: "It was extremely sweet and sentimental, and it is a day that I never want to forget! Trace had made plans for us to go to dinner that Sunday. On the car ride there, he began asking me questions about why I want to get married at Church in the Pines. During our drive, we passed the church and asked me to show him what I loved so much about it. So, we made a small detour and stopped by. It wasn’t until I was out of the car and walking halfway down the middle aisle that I realized what was truly happening. I was genuinely shocked and ecstatic when I saw flowers and this small wooden sign that read, "I choose you." Words can’t even begin to describe how I was feeling at that moment! I kept repeating, 'actually,' over and over again to which Trace just laughed and smiled at me. He was so incredibly sweet and patient with me while I took it all in. We both teared up because this is something we both had been looking forward to. Afterwards, we sat down in one of the pews and reflected on the years we have already had together. It was nothing short of amazing!"

Katie: "We genuinely enjoy any time we get to spend together! Some of our favorite things that we enjoy together are watching movies, cooking and playing pickle ball. We make a pretty good doubles team!"
