Katie & Conner

Conner & Katelyn's Love Story
Conner Anderson and Katelyn Payne tied the knot at Drakewood Farm on May 15, 2025. Their story began in high school, but their first unforgettable moment happened one sunny day at the local pool—Katelyn fainted from the heat, and Conner, the lifeguard on duty, caught her just in time. That moment sparked a friendship, which over time turned into a lasting love.

Years later, Conner planned a surprise proposal during a trip to Venice, Italy. After asking Katelyn’s dad the day before they left, he found a secluded bridge in Venice and, during a photo op, got down on one knee to pop the question.

Since then, they’ve built a life full of adventure, rescue pets (including a tortoise that may outlive them both!), and plenty of growth. From world travels to navigating adulthood hand in hand, their love has grown stronger with every chapter. This is just the beginning for these two, and their journey continues side by side.
