Hospitality being the focus of my life, my goal has always been to make sure people are comfortable, happy, and finding joy. In 2019, my friend was starting an axe throwing business while I was working as an event coordinator. I'd help him once a week at a local brewery in Eagle, teaching people and facilitating a good time. That's where I met Lindsay and her roommates. They would all come and hangout and throw with me weekly. Then Covid hit, and everyone disappeared for months. I lost my job in events but as the world started opening up again, I was asked to run axe throwing full time. Eventually, Lindsay and her friends came back and started hanging out regularly. It was fun having new friends. After being friends for about a year, Lindsay and I met to honor the passing of a mutual friend. Enjoying the conversation and feeling like the time was too short, I asked Linds to meet up again soon, so we planned a hike. The hike turned into an impromtu picnic, and it was magnetic. I knew I'd hit the bullseye. I couldn't stop thinking of her because this girl was so much fun. I was stuck on her like an axe stuck in wood. Soon after that, I axed her to be my girlfriend and the rest is history.

Jared and I met axe throwing in 2019. Jared was working the axe trailer for a buddy of his and every Thursday they set up at Bonfire Brewery in Eagle. It became the thing to do on a Thursday night and even if my friends and I weren't planning to throw, if we walked by the trailer, Jared's persistence would somehow convince us to change our mind. Through that, he became friends with me and my friends. One day in late September my roommates ran into Jared at an axe-throwing event and immediately started calling me non-stop and texting me, saying things like ASAP and "Call us, it's urgent", despite knowing I was out to dinner with my Greeley family. When I called them back they said: "Do you think Jared is cute?? He is so sweet and kind, he is just the greatest. You should date him. You should MARRY him." My response to them was: First, that was definitely NOT 'urgent' and second, that we were just friends, even though I did have a little crush on him... and... turns out they were right. It took until February 2021 and a sunset picnic that included home-smoked salmon for Jared and I to figure out for ourselves that maybe we should indeed date.

We love our people so much and are excited to share our special day! Meaningful relationships are the driving factor in both of our lives, so it was impossible for us not to invite anyone who has had an impact on our lives. That said, it is going to be a BIG wedding. Please note that for the ceremony, there will be a limited number of chairs but plenty of standing room in the back. If you would like, you may bring a camp chair to ensure seating or just come for the reception. We understand that everyone is in their own spot in life so if attending our wedding requires too much travel or causes any hardship or stress, please make the best choice for yourself.
