Our Story

The Wedding Website of Liv Cotter and Dan Hartman
We met in December 2021 and went on our first date at a bagel shop in Arlington, Virginia. After a few years together in the DC area, Dan was reassigned to Fort Carson in Colorado Springs. In January 2024, we moved to Colorado together, where we began building a life that quickly felt like home. Between skiing and snowboarding in the mountains, exploring the food and coffee scene, and building friendships, Colorado became an important chapter for us. Dan proposed in Chatham, Massachusetts, in September 2024 - a place long meaningful to him and now special to both of us. We eloped on January 11, 2025, in Colorado Springs. The day was private, intentional, and exactly what we wanted. Our first year of marriage looked different than expected, with Dan deployed to South Korea for six months. He returned home safely in December 2025. While we’re already married, this celebration is about sharing that joy with all of you. We’re deeply grateful for your love and support.
