How and when did you first meet?
We met in high school — it was the end of my freshman year and Travis’ sophomore year. Our first date was spent looking at the stars from a friend’s driveway.
Tell us about the proposal.
It was on our sixth anniversary of dating. We went to Mackinac Island for the day, and he popped the question while we were on the ferry.
Tell us about the wedding.
We were married on June 8, 2013 at Crystal Gardens in Howell. The weather was perfect that day, and we had so many loved ones there to celebrate with us.
What do you cherish most about each other?
We’ve literally grown up together. September 4 marked 20 years of doing life side-by-side. Our two beautiful children and our pup, Oliver have completed our family. We love to travel together, enjoy lazy days at home, and be involved in all of the kids’ activities.
Do you have any other funny, sweet, or just plain fun details you’d like to share?
Travis: We love our small town — and Caitlin’s parents, Rick and Robin Ham, live just down the road. The kids love growing up with friends all around them in the subdivision and being able to swim every day.
Caitlin: Our goal when we got married young was to one day win the “longest married couple” dance at future weddings!
