We met on the dating site Bumble. Maggie made the first move, per Bumble rules. James had a zoo membership and provided random facts about animals (this should be of no surprise to anyone). We went on our first date about a month later. We bonded over our love for baseball, dislike of the same 3 food items (mushrooms, celery and olives), and of course, Maggie was thrilled he had a beard. He moved to WA a year later, I followed him a year after that. And the rest they say is history (or herstory). James proposed while on a trip to Crested Butte in the fall of 2021. They went on a hike with a beautiful scenic overlook as all the Aspens were changing into their fall prime yellow. They celebrated the rest of the weekend at Maggie's favorite mountain dive bar. Hula hooping, throwing darts, playing shuffleboard, and singing along to Tom Petty with a beer and her MOH, Kate. It was perfect, and very on-brand
