Joseph and Katherine met at Kansas State University in an Anthropology Recitation Class. She remembers the first time they ever made eye contact. That was six years ago in January. When Katherine moved across the country to D.C., she realized something was missing, and that was true love. The couple reconnected in 2020 over many Facetime movie nights, and the rest is history. They adopted a puppy together in 2024, who they love very much, and got engaged shortly after. They have been together for five years in September, and are looking forward to forever, together.
