In an exclusive sneak peek of the show, viewers get to witness a special moment when Travis makes a long journey from his home in New Jersey to surprise Katie for her birthday. Katie shares her feelings about the experience, stating, "I think any time you’re just bringing someone around your family and everything, there are a lot of nerves just because they’re trying to get to know him and you just want everything to be perfect, but it’s great. I’m enjoying it. I love it."

As the couple enjoys a family dinner, Travis surprises Katie with a thoughtful birthday present. Opening the gift in front of her family, she discovers precious photographs documenting their courtship, capturing memories from their first meeting to their most recent trip together.

Their courtship, which officially began in March 2020, has been documented through their social media, where Katie shared her first photo with Travis in October 2019. Their journey together started when they met through mutual friends in June 2019, and it has been a wonderful ride since then.
