Katie & Coleman

Katie and Cole first connected on a dating app, bonded by their shared South Carolina college experience. Their first date, a cozy evening at a wine bar in Charlotte, was interrupted by an unexpected but amusing encounter with an older woman who couldn’t resist joining their conversation. They decided to give it another shot and met for a second date at Puttery, where Cole dominated a few rounds of mini golf. Soon after, Katie traveled for nearly two weeks. When she returned, their connection picked up right where it left off and they went to their first South Carolina football game together. Nearly a year later, just as the clouds were parting from Hurricane Helene, Cole proposed. They celebrated with a rooftop party surrounded by friends. Now, after an unforgettable journey together, they’re excitedly preparing for their wedding.
