Our Love Story

Tanja and Carl’s love story began on October 11, 2023, and it’s been a beautiful journey ever since. It all started with a connection on Facebook that quickly sparked something special. For our first date, we met in the charming town of Golden, Colorado, where the crisp air, great wine and good conversation set the stage for what was to come. Carl didn’t waste any time. Knowing Tanja was set to leave town for two weeks shortly after we met, he added a sense of urgency to our budding romance. On our second date, in Olde Town Arvada, we both felt the potential for something deeper. In a bold move, Carl asked Tanja to change her flight to Michigan and join him in Las Vegas for a few days. To his delight, she said yes! The last year and a half have been a whirlwind of joy, adventure, and unbreakable connection. From spontaneous moments, lots of laughter and our shared love of desert, we’ve built a love that feels like home. Now, as we prepare to say "I do," we’re thrilled to share our story with you and celebrate the next chapter together!
