Our first date after 5 years apart. We had fried chicken, and now we're both vegan (both Leos), yoga doing, CrossFit WODing, outdoor/travel/human rights/environmentalist...lovers.

Katherine McNeil and Eoghan Sweeney are...engaged! Served in Peace Corps Cameroon with Ben and are social impact minded, athletic human marvels. Ask Kat about bringing on "The Pain Storm".

Josh and Danny live in an awesome renovated SF townhome. Josh (Kirby's cousin) was the first cousin to get married and set the bar high with his marriage to Danny in Palm Springs last March.

Elise and her hubby, Rohit. Elise and Ben served in the Peace Corps together, and are inseparable, forever life pals. Smart, sophisticated and will tell you how it is - so no BS, please and thank you.

Rhi and Patrick have become some of our very best friends in Denver. Avid outdoor enthusiasts and badasses. Rhi and Kirby often drink wine while Ben and Patrick nerd out on financial planning.

Abby and Cameron are known to throw some awesome themed birthday parties (90's theme shown). Co-workers (Abby and Ben), turned great friends, turned neighbors. Love this pair and so will you!

Donna and John, the mother and step father of the groom, are labradoodle loving, Montauk going, painters, musicians and will throw a dinner party that could put Martha Stewart to shame. Donna <3 hats

Aunt Robin and Uncle Bruce. World travelers and lovers of all fine things. Kirby's Mom's sister who helps to carry on Susan's memories and love.

Mythical Goddess? Oh wait that's Beth Archer! Beth works with Ben at the EPA, served in Peace Corps Guyana, makes fantastic vegan, GF Pad Thai and is quite possibly the sweetest and most caring human.

Brittany and Tyler. Britt can be credited with introducing us years ago over a dining hall breakfast. Tyler can be credited with giving Brittany a baby. These two are the most fun and keep love alive.

Sam + Marjorie showed us what love was from month 3 in college with their constant support for each other. They are genuine and sassy and are now raising their child, Eloise, future US President.

Kelly and Alex are badasses both professionally and personally. Kirby and Kirby met day 1 of college. These two make friends where ever they go because they are frankly irresistible.

Libby + Maisha are feminist human rights warriors. What they would never brag about (so we will) is that Libby has a masters from Harvard in Theology and Maisha does incredible work for all humankind.

Jeff (Kirby's Dad) and Dolores. A pair that is up for anything, they've traveled across country, skied countless mountains, and hiked thousands of vertical feet.

Vicki and Steve. Steve is Kirby's Mom's oldest brother. At family reunions, Vicki keeps Kirby in line with unparalleled sass while Steve is typically corralling the rest of the herd.

Lee is one of Ben's very best friends from the Peace Corps, and Ellen is his STUNNING wife. These two are charmers, work/live in Atlanta, family loving wonderful people with good hair.

Anna Nathanson is our officiant, dear friend and life partner a la Cameroon to Ben (Kirby's down). Semi-permanent dog, Batman, ate a chicken that day in Tombel, Cameroon and it caused quite a stir!

Brin+Ethan, Kirby's sister and (basically) brother-in-law. They've been key players in introducing us to 2 major parts of our lives - CrossFit and Airfryers. Animal lovers and funniest, kindest souls.

A force to be reckoned with- Sophie is one of Ben's oldest friends from UES fancy private school life in NY, artista, fashionista and traveler. Ian is her soon to be HUSBAND and is a wonderful CO man.

This gorgeous couple has never stopped believing in each other. Kirby and Lisa also met day 1 of college. College lovers turned LA rockstars, Keith + Lisa continue to aim for the stars.

Kirby grew up across the street from Alison + Phil. Kirby spent her teenage summers babysitting their kids. 25 years later, world’s have collided as we live down the street from each other in Denver.

Kirby’s Mom’s younger brother (yes, there are a lot of siblings). Uncle John is flying solo without his wife or son to the wedding! Having just retired from EPA, he’s living the good life!

Marthe is Kirby’s Mom’s youngest sister. You’d think she’d be the one keeping her husband and two boys, Dean, Jack, and Drew in check but really the boys have complete control in the best ways.

Jack and Drew, Marthe's two trouble makers (but really two of the sweetest boys). Kirby's cousins that she used to love carrying all around family reunions until they grew to be 2' taller than her.
