When The Couple Met
Alright, let’s take things back a little. Back in October of 1997, that’s when the couple first met during a company picnic. Kate said, “Jon was walking across the grass and I saw him and was instantly intrigued! Our eyes met and continued to meet from across the way all afternoon. Finally, I arranged for someone to introduce us,” said Kate. She was immediately attracted to him because “he seemed very put together. And of course he was very good looking.” Jon Gosselin also said about meeting her, “Everything clicked. It sort of felt together like it never felt before. This time was different.”

Moving Fast
Even though they were young at the time, Jon just 22 and Kate 24 when they married, things moved fast. In a backyard wedding ceremony, Jon and Kate tied the knot on June 12 in 1999. Kate Gosselin wrote about the early days of her marriage in her book Multiple Blessings, saying, “Married life was all I had imagined and more. We were young, healthy and ambitious, and it wasn’t long before baby fever set in.”
