Through a marvelous twist of fate and after Thomas had driven thousands of miles with his friend Quill (best man) to settle for the year in the small mountain town of Telluride, Belen had also decided that working in the remote town for her summer vacation was more appealing than Disney World. Neither would have ever expected how much these somewhat hasty decisions would alter the course of their lives. After a somewhat vague introduction after running into each other outside Thomas's room in the employee housing building where they both lived, the true start to this story happened at a party hosted by Belen's friends which Thomas nearly skipped out on to sleep instead. Luckily he did decide to go after ample encouragement from various friends, and he arrived to a smiling Belen holding the door open for the rather large group he accompanied. As the party raged, Thomas had spent the night playing beer pong and eventually lost track of his would-be partner, which translated into the golden opportunity for this young soon-to-be couple to tackle their first challenge as a team. As Thomas searched for his partner, Belen noticed he was in distress and offered her assistance as his new teammate. Unknown to either of them just how much of a teammate Belen would prove to become. They played this final round of beer pong and when Belen hit the final cup with her first and last successful shot of the night the two victors looked into each other's eyes and it felt as there was no other course of action but for them to kiss. There are many arguments as to whether love at first sight truly exists, and while these two had laid eyes on each other before, that first kiss was something of a fairy tale that rarely happens once in any lifetime. That once in a lifetime moment translated to years of love and support between these two. The final culmination of which all of you are invited to share in the place where it all began.
