Two sets of baby steps imprinted in the sand at Dowses Beach on the Cape in the early ‘90s, each washed away by the coming and going of the tides. Ski and snowboard trails left in New Hampshire’s Mount Washington Valley by a couple kids having fun on the slopes with their families. Like two ships passing in the night, Kathryn and Kyle occupied some of the same spaces at early ages, unbeknownst to anyone what was to come.

Stars aligned in 2017 when Kathryn accepted a photography internship with the hometown Boston Red Sox. There, while laying the groundwork of a still-burgeoning career, the recent Boston College graduate had to share a desk which protruded into the aisle and was barely big enough for one person. The person she shared it with, a certain member of the ballclub’s media relations department, had a gym bag that was always in the way and wasn’t terribly great at concealing scents emanating from sweaty clothes.

Whatever works to get attention, right?

What began as a friendly acquaintanceship grew over time - a little too much time if you ask Kathryn. That changed during 2019. During one cool, crisp November day, Kathryn and Kyle galavanted across the Cape, beginning in Sandwich before making stops in Osterville, Yarmouth Port, Orleans, Wellfleet and Provincetown. Naturally, dinner took place at Kathryn’s favorite restaurant of all-time: Crisp. A day like that would have any young, soon-to-be-couple falling in love.

And that it did. In the years since that first date, Kathryn and Kyle have built a life together filled with love, family, and exploration. Years of beach days, ski days, and rounds of golf have only brought the two closer - although maybe nothing more than taste-testing any ice cream and pizza shops within driving distance.

All of this led to a proposal at Craigville Beach Association in May 2023, the beach Kathryn grew up at and which the two of them now call home. Don’t bother asking either of them what was said other than Kathryn saying, “Yes.” But, hey, that’s all that matters, right?

As the couple continues to embark on a life together - one already filled with countless memories, laughter, and love - they are thankful to each of you and are excited to celebrate this special occasion with those they love most!
