Welcome!

If you didn't meet online, are you really getting married in 2019? Was it Kristen's profile, promising an "outdoorsy" (debatable) lifestyle that led him in? Or was it Brett's Facebook privacy settings that allowed Kristen to see a recent trip to Guatemala (and the awful mustache he had been trying to grow during the trip), thus giving her hope they had at least ONE common travel experience in common to talk about over a drink? Following the thorough Facebook investigation by Kristen, she deemed him worthy of sharing a few Moscow Mules at a local Phoenix hot spot - The Little Woody. The date was set - Thursday, May 26th, 2016. Kristen, freshly back from an epic camping trip celebrating her birthday, and Brett, ready to explain how the mice chewed up his phone charger cords on a recent trip backpacking in Havasupai (Kristen still doubts this explanation for not promptly returning her messages) - the night went off without a hitch....and the rest is history! The past three years have been full of adventure for the two - Kristen learned that being "outdoorsy" is a lot of fun and they can often be found exploring all throughout Arizona. On the flipside, Brett has been spotted perusing the racks at Lululemon...he has come a long way from cutting his own hair to save a couple bucks!

The ring had been bought, and Kristen knew it. Brett had teased Kristen by saying she had to "pass the test" (pro tip: gentleman, don't do this). The holiday's flew by, no ring! A few days after the new year, Brett's sister-in-law, Paige, messaged Matt (her husband/Brett's brother), Brett, and Kristen suggesting to hike that weekend. Red flags were raised for Kristen, but she didn't think he would be that clever. Little did she know, Brett had messaged Paige a few days earlier casually suggesting to hike that weekend and then he could propose to Kristen. The group set out for a moderate 5-mile out and back on the Peralta Trail in the Superstitions. Like most trails in that area, the entire morning was full of picturesque landscapes. As the group reached the saddle and started to set up a few pictures for the 'gram, Brett saw this as the perfect opportunity to pop the question! Prepared with champagne, the group celebrated together and then quickly hiked out to celebrate with family and a few close friends. We are so excited to begin this new chapter of our lives, and can't wait to celebrate with you all!
