We’re getting married!

Tayler took a trip to Shelf Road in Cañon City, CO with friends for her first outdoor climbing experience. On the final day of the trip, Tayler got down from an exciting climb, and Bryan came over to compliment her efforts. He was there with some close friends and his puppy, Kiara. While talking, they found out they belonged to the same climbing gym in Denver. Tayler secretly wondered if they'd bump into each other again...

A month after initially meeting 3 hours from home, Bryan recognized Tayler in their climbing gym in Denver. He started up conversation, and they quickly learned they had a lot in common. However, between climbing routes, they separated from each other. That night, Bryan did some digging on Facebook, found Tayler's profile, and reached out. Tayler jumped at the opportunity to spend more time with Bryan and instigated a climbing day in Clear Creek Canyon.

Bryan, Tayler, and a friend met up to climb together in Clear Creek Canyon the weekend after their re-meeting. Tayler was still a newbie climber, but Bryan was the best coach and teacher. Bryan even pulled out a heroic move to catch Tayler in a fall. You could say they were falling for each other.. (sorry). They finished off the day with some drinks at the Mountain Toad in Golden, CO, continued to text the rest of the night, and the conversation hasn't stopped since.

While Bryan moved to Santa Fe, NM for a travel PT contract in the early days of their relationship, Tayler bought her first home, a condo in Lakewood, CO. Fast forward to April 2020, and Bryan and Kiara moved in with Tayler to make it their cozy first home together. A few months later, in September 2020, Bryan bought a beautiful single family home in Lakewood, and they moved in to the house they've now put hours of work and love into.

If anyone knows Bryan, they know he's a talented outdoor adventure planner. He planned the most epic adventure to pull off a surprise proposal in Telluride, CO. The plan was for the couple to go on a beautiful hike of the Blue Lakes, which is picturesque throughout the hike and ends high above the most gorgeous green-blue alpine lake. Once they made it to the beautiful overlook, Bryan got down on one knee and asked Tayler to marry him. It was a perfect symbol of their adventure-filled relationship together, and their puppy Kiara was, of course, along for the ride.
