They say you know... They say its love at first sight... They didn't mention it included an algorithm and a series of life changing events. Chris and Katie met on Bumble (a dating app). Their first date, dinner in downtown Boulder, was over tacos and Rosé. They talked for hours; sharing stories about their favorite adventures, life philosophies, dating war stories, and their hopes and dreams. When a few hours passed, they took a stroll around Pearl Street. Precocious Chris landed the first kiss and their chemistry was clear. Over the next few weeks, despite an hour commute, the two found ways to see each other. Katie was slow and cautious about getting serious, and Chris, seeing her sincerity, was patient. But everything changed when they planned a weekend trip to Sante Fe. Love stories are made in between the lines, in the glances, in the quiet moments, in the bond built through shared experiences and the building of trust. The couple's trip to Sante Fe was more than just a fun adventure. It was a gift to both of their hearts...a glimpse in to the future and a demonstration of the depth available in their partnership. They committed themselves to each other on the drive home. Chris asked Katie what it would take for her to get engaged. With things moving so quickly the answer was "meeting my family." They swiftly planned a trip for Katie's parents to visit. In August the coulple decided to DRIVE to Maine. With Chris' aging golden retriever, Wilson, in tow; the couple spent two weeks traveling, spending time with his family, weaving their futures and solidifying plans. When they arrived home, Chris swiftly sold his condo and moved to Longmont, they bought an airstream and took a few adventures. Chris proposed on their favorite running trail at sunset. A few short months later they found their dream house and moved to Denver. They say you know...they say its love at first sight....for us its the beginning of a lifelong journey and a dream come true.
