Katie and Steve, who met in the ASU marching band and reunited when they began teaching at the same school, were married on April 20, 2019.
Katie glowed in a sleeveless A-line gown with spaghetti straps, sweetheart neckline, beaded overlay, and button-down back. Her accessories include a pendant necklace and purple flowers in her hair.
Her bouquet was arranged with purple and white flowers. Her four bridesmaids wore matching full-length one-shoulder dresses. They carried smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet.
Steve wore a black tuxedo with a gray vest, white shirt, gray tie, white pocket square, and white flower boutonniere. His four groomsmen wore black tuxedos with purple vests, white shirts, purple ties, and white flower boutonnieres.
During the outdoor ceremony, family members read quotes about love.
Later, guests enjoy a meal of salad with poppy seed vinaigrette dressing, mixed vegetables, butternut squash ravioli, vegetable Wellington, and sliced beef tenderloin. Since Katie teaches math and Steve teaches music, the table numbers were music and math symbols.
In the speeches, the matron of honor, the bride’s twin sister, talked about how it’s a privilege to be a part of the newlyweds’ lives, and led the guests in a game. The best man joked about the groom, and said the couple have found a beautiful thing, and have come together as something special.
Steve and Katie’s first dance was a choreographed number to “One Hand, One Heart.” Katie and her father danced to “My Girl” by The Temptations. Katie and her mother danced to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” by Judy Garland. Steve and his mother danced to “Just the Way You Are” by Billy Joel.
The wedding cake was music- and dog-themed.
We wish the happy couple all the best in the future!
