Nicole moved to Denver with a dream and a vision: opening a Tutu School to teach kids the fine art of twirling. Little did she know, she’d soon be doing a different kind of dance. Shortly after unpacking, a mutual college friend, Cara, introduced Nicole to Ashlyn, who immediately invited her to a classic Denver "park day"—which is just code for socializing, lawn games, and aggressive day-drinking in the sunshine. It was during a friendly volleyball game that Nicole and Ryan first crossed paths and started chatting. But the real magic happened a month later, when they encountered each other again under the highest possible stakes: The Beer Olympics. Fueled by a healthy dose of liquid courage and the fierce desire for gold, Ryan asked Nicole out over a game of corn hole. She said yes, the rest is history, and honestly? We’ve been winning ever since.
