Although we lived in the same dorm during our freshmen year, we never officially met until our junior year at The University of Northern Colorado. Kai met Dave when she joined Phi Sigma Pi, an all-gender academic fraternity. What started as forced hangouts during weekly chapter meetings, study tables, and Big-Little dates quickly became a natural friendship. Eventually, things turned into something more when we shared our first kiss overlooking Lily Lake in Estes Park.

Following Kai's graduation from PTA school, we took a trip back to Hawaii in the summer of 2022 to celebrate. We took a helicopter tour around the Big Island where Dave popped the question after we landed in front of a waterfall. Neither of us remember Dave's speech, but the views were breathtaking! A few days later we made our way back to Oahu to celebrate with Kai's family and friends.

Gathered at Independence Pass on top of the Continental Divide, we shared our vows surrounded by breathtaking views and our immediate family. We then had a champagne toast and some light pastries to celebrate. We enjoyed the simplicity of an intimate ceremony, but we look forward to celebrating again with friends and family at our reception.
