Do you know Katie and Trystan? Wish them well in comments below, and VIEW THEIR FEATURED ENGAGEMENT SLIDESHOW VIDEO!

Katie and Trystan met in high school. They had gone on one date during their junior year, but it didn’t work out at the time. But by the second semester of their senior year, Trystan approached Katie in the hallway and asked her out again. (That’s persistence, gentlemen!) They finally went on their first official date, to the bowling alley. (We can just imagine Trystan cautiously hoping Katie might ask for help with her bowling mechanics! Strike!)

In any case, Trystan has always proved himself a true gentleman. Katie says he is “incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful. He is a gentle giant with a big heart. Trystan is so grounded and calm, and when I’m around him I feel more at ease and at peace. I love that he is always so go-with-the-flow. He is down to go along with whatever weird activity/date I have planned and he is always willing to try new things. He’s easy to laugh with, be vulnerable with, and I am so grateful to call him my best friend.”

And as if you needed anything more to bring happy tears to your eyes, Trystan says, “Katie is the most kind, caring, and respectful woman I have ever had the blessing of knowing. Her selfless attitude and infectious smile makes every moment with her amazing. The ‘shift’ of a room when she enters it is just a glimpse of how much impact she has on her friends, family, and me. She will forever be my best friend and I cannot wait to laugh with her, cry with her, and see where our adventures take us.”

We can’t wait either! We know their wedding will be a historic celebration.. and just as much fun as these two life-loving soul mates are!
