Katie & Richard | A Chicago Lakefront Engagement

share /

Katie & Richard are engaged!

These two met through Richard’s younger brother, Daniel. Through Daniel, Katie & Richard met almost 7 years ago! They went on a couple of dates in the summer of 2013 but didn’t officially started dating January 2015. Some things just take time 😉

This past winter, Richard planned an elaborate story in order to propose to Katie. See, Katie was expecting (and was very excited) to get engaged to Richard. She even mistakenly thought Richard was going to propose a few weeks before he actually did. So, when it came time to actually pop the question, Richard had to get clever.

Katie’s friends, Emily, Kiley and Liz, told her they were getting dinner for Chicago’s Restaurant week. They were to meet at Emily’s apartment, have a few drinks then head downtown. When Katie walked into Emily’s place, Richard was waiting with candles, dinner and Van Morrison! Emily, Liz, and Kiley were nowhere to be found. Richard got down on one knee and, of course, Katie said yes!

Meanwhile, Emily, Kiley and Liz and all of their friends and families gathered in the apartment across the hall. The apartment conveniently owned by Emily’s brother. Richard told Katie Emily, Kiley and Liz were over there hiding out. When they went over to share the news, they were surprised with everyone they love! They all headed to their favorite bar, Butch McGuire’s for a night long celebration.

Katie & Richard are getting married this coming November at the North Shore Country Club.
