Our Love Story

We are so excited to share this special adventure with you! We first met at Regis Jesuit High School, reconnected years later, and on July 1, 2021 we turned best friends into something more. On December 13, 2025 we got engaged at Betty Ford Park, a place that reflects our love for Vail and will always be special to us. Now we’re ready to tie the knot! When we’re not wedding planning, you’ll find us with our dog, Busch, who keeps us on our toes and fills our lives with joy. Thank you for being part of our story — we can’t wait to celebrate with you.With love, Joey &amp; Katie
