KC has worked at a video game company for nearly 6 years in Denver. Monica moved to Denver from Austin, Texas in April 2018 for a new job as a web developer at the same company. We were on the same team with a few others as well, and after working on a few projects together, sharing lunch both in groups with colleagues and alone, we decided that we wanted to take our friendship outside of work and so we spent more and more time together After about a month, we decided that we wanted to bring romance into our relationship, and KC took Monica on their first date to the Melting Pot! Just like Pam and Jim (from The Office TV show), work relationships exist in real life too!

I (KC) knew several months ago that if I was going to propose, it just HAD to be in an inflatable T-Rex costume (one of Monica's favorite things). After thinking and thinking, I decided that I wanted to send her on a dino-themed scavenger hunt all over town, ending at the Denver Nature & Science museum, where a giant T-Rex fossil resides. I recruited several of our friends, one person to be at each location, with a dinosaur trinket (t-shirt, beanie, key chain, etc.) and the next clue. My best friend David (also my best man) was the driver and took Monica to all the locations, each one being a place that has special meaning to Monica and I. Finally, everyone met at the museum to surprise Monica, where KC ran out in the T-Rex costume, bent down on a knee (those things are hard to move in!) and offered a ring. She said YES! :D <3
