We met skiing in Park City! It was Ben's senior year and Kaitlyn's sophomore year at Middlebury, and we both went to Park City for February break in 2017. We had a couple mutual friends and decided to all meet up on the mountain. Our friendship began on a chairlift and our romance followed a few years later. Fast forward to fall 2020, we went to Tahoe with friends and Ben offered that Kaitlyn "feel free to not book a return flight" and join him after in Los Angeles. Kaitlyn most certainly took Ben up on that offer and spent the entire fall in California. Towards the end of Kaitlyn's extended West Coast time, sparks were flying and we made plans to spend the winter together. We started dating in Park City in early 2021. We consider our first real date to have been a powder day at Deer Valley - all our friends went to Alta and we took the opportunity to spend the day, just the two of us, lapping Lady Morgan Bowl. We fell in love somewhere on our 5-month journey from Park City, to Steamboat Springs, Jackson Hole, Tahoe and finally Palm Springs. In the fall of 2021, having reluctantly moved back to New York, we found ourselves jumping on the Thursday evening JFK to SLC flight to spend the weekend in Park City more than we care to admit. Eventually, we realized we should just move closer to the mountains, so in the winter of 2023, we moved to Los Angeles. In March 2024, after 3 years of dating, we took a trip to Sedona, Arizona where Ben proposed at the top of a mountain on a sunrise hike.  Park City felt like the perfect, and obvious, place for us to get married. It is the place where we met as friends, started dating and have since spent winter breaks, ski weekends and July 4th together. Park City is both a place that holds so much relationship history and is also emblematic of our shared love of mountains. We are so grateful to you all for joining us in this special place to celebrate our love and next chapter of life together.
