Katie and Chad were married in a beautiful, intimate outdoor ceremony at Cincinnati’s Kenwood Country Club. Katie’s vision was that the day be romantic and simple, filled with flowers.
Katie shares…It was a perfect fall day! The sun was shining the leaves were so vibrant. Our ceremony was outside the Kenwood Country Club on their terrace overlooking the golf course. Cocktail hour was outside followed by a sit down dinner in the ballroom and dancing in the living room. It was a perfect night filled with our favorite people. Photos by Laura Laine Photography.
How they met
Chad and I met on Match.com. Our first date was lunch at the Dilly Deli in Mariemont. He was so nervous and I thought it was super cute. With each of us having two kids lunch dates happened often. It was our time to connect. Lunch dates grew into dinner dates then weekends together and finally introductions to each other’s children. It has been an amazing experience blending our families into one.
THE PROPOSAL
It was a Friday evening and Chad told me we were having dinner with my parents. I pulled up to his house and walked inside. I started talking about something my kids did and I could tell Chad wasn’t really listening to me. As I walked from the kitchen into the entryway of his house and he followed. As I turned around he took me in his arms and told me he wanted to love me forever and if I would be his wife. My first words were “this is happening now right here?!”
Of course I said yes. Then he told me we had an appointment at the jewelers in 15 min so I could pick out my own ring. We had a private appointment with the jeweler to look at diamond and pick out my setting. We found the perfect diamond over a bottle of my favorite wine. We then met my parents for dinner to surprise them with the news.
