On October 12, 2022, an ordinary trivia night turned into the start of our life together. Brett had just moved to Denver 5 days prior and was invited to join trivia night with his college friend Danny (best man), Kim (bridesmaid), and Kelly. When Kelly walked in, her eyes were drawn to the cute guy in the pink shirt with the top button undone and his chest hair popping out. Brett saw Kelly and thought wow she's pretty cute. I can't believe I just moved to Denver, and I already have a lil crush on this girl. Brett quickly became part of the friend group. He joined Kelly's dodgeball and trivia teams which was great because we now had an excuse to see each other a few times a week and build our friendship. After dodgeball games when everyone met up at the bar, we secretly (or really not that secretly because everyone could tell there was something going on between us) tried to sit next to each other so we could spend the night laughing and flirting together. From our first adventure together to camping, international travel, hikes, kickball, meeting the families, and showing each other our home towns, we've had an absolute blast together and feel so grateful to share all of life's joys together. In November 2024, we went on a winter hike up Mt. Sanitas in Boulder, the same one we first did when we met. This time Kelly knew something was up as Brett kept checking his phone and ignoring cute dogs, which is very uncharacteristic for him. As we made our way to the top, Brett was increasingly nervous as the perfect proposal spot was taken up by slow walking hikers and children messing around. After about 15 minutes of anxiously waiting Brett took the opportunity and brought Kelly to the perfect photo spot, remembered about 25% of his pre-rehearsed speech, and got down on one knee, something that he spent hours practicing. Little did Kelly know (but quickly found out as she saw someone weirdly crouching behind a rock), Brett had coordinated with our friends, Jake (groomsmen) and Nicole (bridesmaid), to take pictures and celebrate with us afterwards. Shortly after getting engaged, we bought a home and get to live out our homeownership dreams...Brett's being standing on the front porch with his hands on his hips admiring his freshly mowed lawn or grilling in the backyard and Kelly's dream of having so many spaces to organize and decorate and our shared dream to host all our friends and family.
