Katie and Shane met in August of 2018. Like many modern love stories, Shane liked one of Katie's photo on a dating app and Katie asked Shane if they "were getting Tacos or what?" The rest is history. Their love grew over adventures in the great outdoors, cozy nights watching movies, playing cards at bars, and singing their hearts out at concerts. Katie and Shane come from two very different cities (Katie from Miami, FL and Shane from Iowa City, IA). But one thing is for certain, they both come from two very loving and amazing sets of friends and family. We cannot wait for you all to join us on our wedding day and explore the state of Colorado where we fell in love!

Katie and Shane love to ski and snowboard and have made a weekend trip out of it every year they have been together. This trip, however, was different. Little did Katie know that Shane has had her dream engagement ring tucked away in their basement for months while he planned the perfect day to pop the question. As usual, perfect days are hard to come by. This day at Keystone was gloomy, the snow was icy, and at one point, Katie wanted to call it for the day in frustration after falling snowboarding one too many times. As Shane normally does, he went into action and support mode and said, "let's do one more run." Katie begrudgingly agreed and as soon as they hit the run, the sun finally came out and Katie was ready for more. Shane’s heart fluttered as he knew this was his chance. He convinced Katie to take the gondola lift to the backside of Keystone to “hopefully find more powder and fewer people” but really, this was his plan all along. Minutes into their beautiful ride, out came the camera, a little suspicion occurred, the ring was presented, Katie cried harder than expected, the question was asked, the laughing occurred, and it became the most perfect day.
