Among the ladies on The Real Housewives of Potomac, Katie Rost has a reputation: She's the lady who's been trying desperately to convince her longtime boyfriend, Andrew Martin, to marry her, often with some hilarious results (like the time they made out while in front of everyone). But, if Katie's first marriage ended quickly, then why would she be so eager to get married again? Well, take a look at these photos of Katie Rost & her ex-husband James Orsini, and you'll see that while these two may have only been married for a few years, they did have some sweet moments, particularly at their wedding and once their son, James Rocco, was born. Ultimately, though, when she was pregnant with their twin daughters, Kathryn and Renee, Katie left James and moved back to Potomac to be closer to her family. Quickly, her mother introduced her to Andrew, and the rest is history.
But, look at these old photos. While Andrew seems to have endless patience for Katie's hijinks, including her insatiable thirst for marriage, initially, it seemed like it was Katie and James who were a perfect match. The Washington Post reported on the Rost-Orsini wedding and made it sound like they were the couple truly destined to be together. So, let's revisit Katie's happy memories from her marriage with these sweet photos.
