As the famous saying goes, “Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.” Kaitlyn and Luke’s beautiful love story began unexpectedly while at work! They were both working in the same building, and though very much focused on their work, they quickly caught a glimpse of each other. It happened over lunch, but not in the typical way you might imagine. Kaitlyn was on her way to the break room fridge to grab her lunch when she passed by Luke. You could say it was love at first smile, because Kaitlyn only smiled at him as she walked by, and Luke was immediately intrigued. He played it smooth and nonchalantly followed her back to her desk and asked Kaitlyn for her name so he could message her.

From this magical moment, in an ordinary day, they began to talk nonstop. They spent a year of getting to know each other, building a strong friendship. It wasn’t long after that Kaitlyn and Luke realized that with this solid foundation of friendship, they had the potential to create and share a wonderful love and life together. With each passing day their feelings for one another grew stronger and their beautiful love story began to blossom! As Kaitlyn reflected on how their love story began, she said, “We will never forget the day we first met because it changed our lives forever!”

When we asked Kaitlyn and Luke when they knew marriage was the next step for them, their answer was full of love, joy, and excitement for their future together. Kaitlyn shared, “Luke and I decided to get married because we are truly each other’s best friends. We believe that God created us for each other. We share the same hopes and dreams, and we constantly support each other to achieve our goals.  When we are together, we can’t stop smiling and laughing and we wish we could be together 24/7! We couldn’t imagine life without one another and feel so lucky we get to love each other for the rest of our lives.”

In their free time, you can find Kaitlyn and Luke going on adventures and exploring the restaurants and wineries in Northern Virginia. They also love spending time as a family and playing with Luke’s two adorable daughters.  Two other activities they enjoy are watching Netflix shows and playing board games. At the end of the day both Kaitlyn and Luke agreed they are pretty much up for anything if it involves spending time together!

Three values that Kaitlyn and Luke share as a couple and have built their incredible relationship on are faith, love, and laughter.
