K&B - 2018

K&B forever

Our Wedding

Katrina and Brandon have been friends since November of 2017. They hit it off and started dating in July of 2018. (Yes, we were just babies!) In the years since, Katrina was welcomed with open arms by Brandons parents, and Brandon was slowly warmed to the crazy bunch Katrina calls family. Soon Trout and Brandon became to form a bond. (These two are a crazy pair when left alone together.) Connections deepened between family, friends, and especially these two. Katrina and Brandon love traveling, their favorite stays are Florida, North Carolina, and of course their go to - OCMD, they’ve ventured through majority of the eastern states. Of course along the way they somehow find a fire station and love to get in on a game of mini golf! — They eventually decided to start their house hunting journey in 2022, which lasted two years until they landed in their beautiful home in August of 2024. (Renovations, broken pipes, and pests are a real treat!) With enough convincing, and almost seven and a half years later, (I love you dear!) Brandon found the courage on November 14th, 2025, to ask Katrina if she would so boldly marry him. (She of course said yes!) Now here they are, patiently waiting for the time to past till they can say I Do. (..and man, we cannot wait to proclaim our love and celebrate with you!) Wish them the best and God Bless!

Where Has Time Gone...

Our Story

Photos

Kristan is the older sister of Katrina by two years. (Being close in age growing up wasn't so easy, however it truly is a blessing.) Kristan and Katrina's bond isn't out of the ordinary, especially as sisters that love each other to the depths of their bones while also butting heads on an almost daily basis. (If you have a sibling, well, you just know.) Kristan is also the mother of Oliver (our Ring Bearer) and baby Oswynn, and the wife of Conall. Kristan is beautiful, kind, smart, and has a wonderful spirit. (You most definitely won't miss her on our special day.) {I love you, Kristan, I'm proud to call you, my sister.  -K}

Kristan

Tyler (also known as Ditzler) is Brandon's best friend of 5 years. They met (as you may have guessed it) at our volunteer fire dept. close to home. Quickly they formed a brotherly bond like no other. They enjoy performing tasks around station, leading trainings, and helping new members become situated within the dept.  Tyler is a professional firefighter in Montgomery County, Maryland. Tyler is the husband of Kylie (est. June 2026), the father of Nash (our neph-dog), and the brother to Olivia (Katrina's bridesmaid). {You're the best, bro. We love you, Tyler!  -K&B}

Shanna is basically the third sister of Kristan and Katrina. When they were younger, their families came together often, and eventually through a few bumps and curves, the three of them formed a friendship like no other. (We love each other, and we also butt heads sometimes too, and that is ok because we wouldn't want it any different.) Shanna is the mother of Clayton and Oaklynn, and the wife of Shawn. Shanna is stunning, unique, true hearted, and has a lovely soul. (You won't miss her either, as she will be right by my side.) {I'm beyond grateful to have you in my life and call you a sister, Shanna.  -K}

Shanna

Olivia is a little sister to Katrina. They have a special connection and so much in common; not a day goes by that either one is making the other laugh.  Olivia found a passion in nursing and taking care of those in need. She loves spending her free time with her Maverick (our neph-dog), as well as cooking and baking. (We do love snackin.) She is beautiful, has the most stunning hair, loads of spirit, and is always up lifting. {Im thrilled to have you a part of our special day, Ivi! -K}

Olivia

Chet is also a fire station brother of Brandon and Katrina.  Chet is a very hard-working father of four beautiful young girls; he is always reliable and is willing to participate in any task. He represents our fire station alongside Brandon at board meetings for the fire dept., discussing important topics and determining the proper outcomes. There is always a story to be told about Chet while at the fire station and each is surely to give a good laugh. Be sure to find this fun stud on the dance floor and ask him about his awesome "ankle socks". {That's always a good one! Love you, Chet! -K}

Chet

Oliver is Katrina and Brandon's fearless, outstanding, intelligent, and handsome seven-year-old nephew. You will not miss him in the crowd as he stands out in the most amazing ways. Oliver is a cub scout, loves Minecraft and Mario Kart, and enjoys fishing. He loves when you compliment him on his hair when it is styled, and he will humble you quicker than you could think possible, and we absolutely love him for his boldness! {He's Aunt TT's favorite nephew!}

Oliver 

Tyler (also known as Griffith) is another fire station brother of Brandon and Katrina. Tyler appeared in their lives sometime shortly after meeting Ditzler. Tyler is a Lancaster County 911 dispatcher. He also belongs with a few other fire depts. within the county, where he spends his time also leading trainings, and coaching individuals within those fire depts. Tyler is a goof and a pleasure to be around(..and we all accept him for who he is.) {We love you, Tyler!  -K&B}

Tyler Griffith 

Nate (more so known as Fryer) is - you probably guessed it - is a fire station brother. (Guy came of the blue one day and we've loved him since.) Fryer is Trout's favorite uncle; every time we've had to leave Trout in the bunkroom at station for a fire call, we come back to find him curled up in Fryer's bunk. Fryer might look like he's mad 24/7, but he's really not, and he can be the life of a party.. the level of his 'feel good' is determined by how far his hat is spun on his head. {Thank you for being awesome guy! -K&B}
