While Rachel was in Albuquerque looking at apartments and preparing for her upcoming move there, her sister Sarah swiped right on Brian's profile because 1) he had a cute dog and 2) he liked rock climbing. We chatted all day, every day until Rachel moved down a month later.
Our first date started at Trifecta Coffee in Albuquerque, where we immediately hit it off. We then went climbing at Stoneage Climbing Gym, where we were mutually impressed and had a great time. Not wanting the date to end, we hopped over to Green Jeans for Amore Pizza where we continued to talk about our lives, families, and dreams. As Rachel captioned her Instagram post of her pizza that day, "Things are starting to look up"
On a sunny day at Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins, CO, we both asked the question: "Will you marry me?" While the day was planned, the rings were a surprise, and we had the best day ever! To commemorate our first date, we both got pizza tattoos after the proposal.
In a beautiful A-Frame cabin surrounded by mountains, we eloped in a private ceremony with just the two of us on 12/19/2023. We even had rain and ladybugs for good luck! It was the most perfect day.
Come celebrate and party with us!
