In 21st century fashion, we met through the powers of the internet. About to embark on a move to Canada, Ben persuaded Devon to give him a chance and stay in Colorado a bit longer. Almost 8 years later, it's safe to say the right choice was made. With two trips overseas, multiple trips across the borders to the north and south, several states, national parks, and too many dirt roads to count, we have found endless ways to explore the world together and enjoy a cold drink in each other's company at the end of the day.

By now, COVID-19 has impacted each one of us and our plan for this wedding has been no exception. After a few difficult decisions, the final iteration of the day's events will include a family-only ceremony in Salida, CO on September 10 followed immediately by a newlywed road trip to Washington state to celebrate with Ben's family. While there are disappointments, we are grateful to have our health and the opportunity to keep our loved ones safe by choosing to cancel the reception. We feel very lucky to have so many incredible people in our lives and look forward to a celebration with you all next year. Stay safe and take care of each other!
