In July of 2021, we met online and decided to meet at St. Mary's Glacier near Idaho Springs for a hike. We immediately clicked and after a 3 hour hike (full of extra jaunts on side paths to extend our time) we still didn't want our date to end so met at Beau Jo's in Idaho Springs for a post-hike pizza. We both spent the rest of the day smiling and have been making each other smile since! Fast forward to December 2022. Misha suggested a staycation trip to Idaho Springs during our Christmas break. We shared a lovely dinner at Beau Jo's, reminiscing on our first date. As we walked out of the restaurant, Misha handed me the box of leftover pizza. I assumed he was tying his shoe or something, but when I looked up he was on one knee with the most beautiful ring! We are so excited to spend our lives together and are glad you will be able to join us as we celebrate our marriage!
