Katharine and Andrew met online, but not on a dating app! Andrew started following Katharine's poetry blog, and was obviously smitten because he then messaged her asking her out on a date. Because poetry has always had a meaningful place in their relationship, Andrew proposed using one of Katharine's poems! Katharine's maid-of-honor also had a poem commissioned for her to read on her wedding morning, and that is the poem you can hear being read in the video.  The sweetest gift!
