Our Story

Abigail and Caden met at Colorado Christian University in the Cougar Den, where a simple conversation turned into a lot of laughter. From that first day, they kept finding reasons to talk, and soon they were texting nonstop and discovering how naturally they connected. Their first date was at the Denver Zoo, where they spent the entire day laughing and exploring. It didn't take long to realize how much they both loved nature, exploring, and simple moments that made them feel completely at ease with each other. Some of their favorite memories have been made on long walks, hikes, visits to zoos, trips to the movies, or cozy nights in. After graduating, Caden moved back home to Minnesota, and they began over a year of long distance. Even with the miles between them, their relationship only grew stronger. Abigail fell more in love with Caden's thoughtful, caring heart and the way he treats everyone with kindness. Caden loves Abigail's silliness, her joy, and the way she makes every day fun. Their love story took a beautiful turn when Caden flew to Colorado to surprise Abigail with a proposal on a stunning fall trail, surrounded by golden leaves and her best friends. It was a perfect moment. Now they are beyond excited to close the distance and begin the next chapter of their lives together.
