Downtown Plymouth, MI

Congratulations to my old friend, Katie!! I'm so happy for these two, and so extremely honored to be documenting their story.

Katie and I share many childhood memories. It was so good to reconnect after all this time. A funny tidbit-- I always felt really bad, because I bit her when we were really little. I said something about this, and she said, "Oh, I always thought that was your neighbor". "Yes, yes it was." Ha ha!!

Brendan and Katie met eight years ago in Boston through a mutual friend, and started seeing each other at all the concerts and sporting events they both liked. He decided to take a trip to Germany to visit his family in July 2012, and invited Katie to go along, and they have been together ever since. So, technically, their first date was a two and a half week European vacation! They went to Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna, Bratislava, Salzburg, Munich, and Zurich on that first trip.

He proposed in Germany, overlooking Neuschwanstein castle.

Sounds like a fairy tale to me...
