Katie and Thomas first crossed paths in the fall of 2013 as part of a group of Georgia natives attending Ole Miss. Introduced through mutual friends, their connection began at a party hosted by a fellow Valdostan. A chance ride home that evening, with Thomas as her driver, marked the start of a lifelong friendship, and later, a romance. "I remember his camo seat covers to this day," Katie laughs.
