Katie Walker &

Adam Pike

September 19, 2020

Adam and I met our freshman year of
high school during our first period
class, but didn’t start dating until
our senior year. When choosing colleges
to attend, I decided on Mississippi State
University while Adam went to Austin Peay
State University to play basketball. After
a year of dating long-distance, we both
decided to come back home and attend
the University of Memphis during the fall
of 2016. Fast forward to 2020, Adam is a
high school history teacher and basketball
coach at Briarcrest (where we met),
and I’m working with dogs everyday at
Whippoorwill Farms Dog Retreat (WWF).
Once Adam and I were engaged, deciding
on a venue was the easiest part of the
wedding planning process. I always knew
that I wanted to get married at the farm.
I spent every weekend hanging on the farm
and Adam quickly grew to love it as we
spent all the time we could there. We chose
September 19th for our wedding date, and
the day could not have been more perfect.
The ceremony and reception were both
outside, overlooking our lake, which made it
an awesome (and safe) venue for a 2020
wedding. No better way to start a new
chapter in our lives than getting married in
the place that means the most to us! -Katie
