It all began the legendary summer of 2019 when Denisse and Koltyn found themselves working as interns in Seal Beach, CA. Amidst an amazing group of fellow intern friends, weekends turned into unforgettable adventures with wine festivals and skydiving, to name a few. By the end of the summer, Koltyn, with a little nudge from their friend Nikita, mustered up the courage to shoot his shot with Denisse. But Denisse, although equally interested in Koltyn, had to let him down easy because timing was tricky, they were going to be apart as they headed back to their schools, Koltyn to Iowa and Denisse to Georgia. Distance couldn’t dim their connection though. Through video calls and endless texts, their bond grew stronger. In November 2019, Koltyn decided he needed to make it official with a trip to Georgia and a big question: would Denisse be his girlfriend? (Spoiler: she said yes.) Denisse and Koltyn navigated two years of long-distance with Koltyn in St. Louis and Denisse in Los Angeles during the pandemic. They made the most of their frequent visits to see each other, and after two years apart, they've spent three years building a life together full of camping, festivals, travel, and endless adventures. Which brings us to the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the wedding!
