Kristin Smith & Patrick Fosbinder

Our Story

For three years, I had seen a very attractive, tall, blue-eyed man wander the halls of Legislative Plaza. I would sneak out of my office every so often to possibly catch his eye. To no avail, I patiently waited until he spoke to me first. That moment was at the West Tennessee Caucus Annual Fish Fry. I darted through the crowd in hopes he would look my way and strike up a conversation. By the end of the night, I had nearly given up hope. Then, something miraculous happened: Patrick Fosbinder started a conversation. For those of you who know Patrick, this is a big deal. He introduced himself to me, chatted a while and set up a date for the following Saturday. From that Saturday forward, we saw each other nearly every day.

On February 15th, during a trip to New York City, Patrick had me sit down at a park bench in Central Park. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said yes and it's been the most wonderful whirlwind ever since!
