Katie is a native to Southern California, and loves living near the beach. She is excited to have bought their first home here together. She graduated from both UCSB and UNL (University of Nebraska, Lincoln) with a Sociology and Psychology degree respectively. She wants a wedding that will be fun and colorful, over looking the beach.

I just saw this site posted on Marcie’s FB page. It looks as if I’m the first to leave a comment. Even before the two of you have posted any info.
CONGRATULATIONS! You two are a great couple, and I wish you many happy years together.
