Kate & Tim in Williamsburg, VA

Kate and Tim first met while working at the same summer job. She was busing tables, and he was a host at a Williamsburg restaurant. Though Tim was too shy to approach her, Kate found out through another coworker that he was interested. One day, Kate asked Tim if he’d be going out with their friends from work that night, but he didn’t think he could make it. Luckily, he did, and after chatting all evening the two finally exchanged numbers. The Bride Kate Kocinski, 25, market research coordinator The Groom Tim Smith, 28, commercial electrician The Date May 29 Four and a half years later, Kate was getting ready for bed on Christmas Eve when Tim called at 12:01 a.m. to be the first to wish her a Merry Christmas. A few minutes later, she heard rocks being tossed at her bedroom window, and when she looked outside, she saw Tim. Confused, she ran downstairs to let him in -- and he pulled out an engagement ring. After a heartfelt proposal, they couldn’t help but wake Kate’s family to share the good news!
