Bumbled Our Way Into Love
The story begins one dry January, when we met for chai at Nova coffee. Little did we know, that was just the beginning of our story. We have played countless games of skeeball at our favorite local dive bar (Don's), showered Mochi (our fur-baby) with multitudes of cuddles and kisses, and cheered on the Detroit Lions for 3 full NFL seasons. We have criss-crossed the globe, from South Africa, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Mexico and Turks and Caicos, to Seattle, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Nashville and Portland. We have explored new hobbies (pickle-ball, skiing, monopoly deal) and found new passions (each other, Mochi, food). We have grown together, supported each other and loved each other through good times and bad, but we couldn't have done any of that without the support of all of those around us. Thank you so much for loving us, and we hope to see you all at our wedding!

For all of those traveling from out of state, we would love for you to get the party started with us on Friday! We will have a private room rented at the coolest dive bar in town, the Wheel Bar! While it may not be our all-time favorite divebar (Don's), I am sure it will become a close second. We request that all family join us from 6PM-7PM, and we can’t wait to see everyone else from 7PM-9PM!

FAQs
Question
Is this a kid friendly event?
Answer
Unfortunately, unless your kiddos name was written on your invite, they are not invited. However, up to you if your want an entirely kid free vacation or just a night off. Here are a couple of local babysitting options given to us by the venue: www.totsonthespot.com https://www.sittercity.com/babysitters/co/estes-park https://www.care.com/babysitters/estes-park-co
Question
Will there be parking
Answer
Short answer, yes. We do ask that if you are staying at the venue you walk or share rides. There are only 40 spots directly in front of the venue. When those fill up, there are additional spots on another part of the property, but that will include a bit of a walk to the venue. Sounds like a fun trek for those not wearing heels!
