We started dating the spring of 2019. Our first date had a rocky start. As many of you know, Patrick was an extremely picky eater for most of his life. In an effort to impress, he agreed to dinner at a Thai restaurant where we discovered he did NOT like Thai food (yet). I ended up with my own leftovers and Patrick's entire meal. Pad Thai aside, conversation flowed. Patrick thought I was cool, I thought Patrick was cool...Good thing we were both wrong. :)

As the saying goes, the rest is history.

Saratoga Springs holds a special place in both our hearts. Patrick spent a lot of his childhood here and we spent the beginning of our relationship in Patrick's old apartment on Union Ave. The connection goes deeper than that for us though. Both our grandfathers had a love for the track and betting on the horses. Teresa and Paul, Patrick's parents, had their own wedding reception at the Canfield Casino. All things considered, Saratoga seemed like the natural choice when planning our own wedding.

As we embark on this next chapter, we are so grateful that we have your love and support. Each and every one of you have played a very special role in our lives. We are so excited to share this weekend with you all.

XoXo,

Kate & Patrick
