How did you two meet?
Katherine: "We met in 2020 during the winter COVID shutdown at the good ole Drakes in Huntsville. I remember when we met, I was super nervous because he was older and cute, but if you know me-- I don’t stop talking. Honestly it worked out because I think he was just as nervous, so I took over the conversation."
Adam: "First time meeting I was a little nervous. I’m pretty quiet, and thank goodness Katherine isn’t. She kept the conversation going the whole time-- which is just what I needed. After that first date I thought man, she could be the one."
How and when did Adam propose?
Katherine: "I wanted to go to this Alabama game in November, but he said his sister-in-law paid for a photographer for family pictures that weekend to give to his dad for Christmas. Honestly, I wasn’t very happy about it, but I got dressed and ready to go. He was acting VERY strange that morning. His brother and sister-in-law picked us up to take the photos downtown. The photographer kept making us do couple pictures, and then made us take a picture standing back to back. I thought OK-- this is corny, his dad's not going to want a picture of standing back-to-back. I felt him come off my back, so when I turned around, he was down on one knee. I remember being in complete shock because there’s no way he could’ve pulled off this surprise. I just remember crying, screaming, and laughing. It was seriously the best day."
Adam: "Like Katherine said, I had told her we were doing family pictures for my dad for Christmas. I was so nervous that morning-- I was scared I was going to give it away. Luckily, it wasn’t long after we started taking pictures that I was down on one knee."
What was each yall's favorite part of the wedding day?
Katherine: "There’s so many things I loved from our wedding day. The ceremony was held at the church I grew up going to, and the sermon was simply perfect. The reception couldn’t have been any better and all the vendors who helped make the day amazing-- but my favorite is the amount of love I felt that day. The people there made our wedding day my favorite day."
Adam: "The whole day was amazing. Yet again, like the proposal, I was extremely nervous beforehand. My favorite part was seeing her for the first time. We didn’t have a first look, so as soon as those doors opened I just felt so much more calm. All the nerves were gone when I saw Katherine."
Katherine-- what's one thing you admire most about Adam?
Katherine: "There’s so many things I can list about what I admire about Adam. I think my favorite is how wholeheartedly he loves not only me, but his family and friends."
Adam-- what's one thing you admire most about Katherine?
