Our Story
How They Met
During their first year at UF law, Katarina & Ted knew each other by name alone. The first real conversation they ever had was the following fall semester about Trump being elected president. As you may know, they have wildly different views on the subject, so what happened several months later was unexpected.
When They Started Dating
Finding themselves working as teaching assistants to the same professor and with virtually identical schedules that second semester, Katarina & Ted found themselves spending more and more time together. Katarina went home for winter break, and on New Year’s Eve, Ted bought a one-way ticket up to Northern Virginia to come visit Katarina and make the 12-hour drive back to Gainesville with her for the final semester of law school. They’ve been together ever since.
How He Proposed
Ted joined Katarina’s family at the family reunion in Ormond Beach, Florida. They took their puppy to see the ocean for the first time. While Katarina was laughing at Cooper attempting to eat sand, Ted got down on one knee and said “Cooper hang on a second, I have to ask your mom a question.” And she said yes!
