We're Married

We met as kids, long before we knew what life had in store for us. Years passes, and life took us in different directions, but fate and friends brought us back together in college. From that point on, we've been inseparable—growing together, traveling together, and building a life side by side. After 10 years of adventure and deep, steady love, Ryan proposed in an unforgettable way. In August 2023, we set out on a challenging backpacking trip to Conundrum Hot Springs in the Maroon Bells wilderness of Colorado. Surrounded by wild beauty and miles from civilization, we found ourselves completely off the grid. One morning, while the sun rose and the snow melt stream flowed beside us at nearly 14,000 feet, Ryan proposed. No cell service, no audience, just the two of us in the middle of the mountains. It was perfect. That moment, with its stillness and simplicity, felt completely ours. No distractions. No pressure. Just love. When it came time to plan our wedding, we knew we wanted to recreate that same feeling. We eloped in Lake Garda, Italy—a quiet, breathtaking place where we could focus entirely on each other and the meaning of the day. Eloping let us soak in every moment and make this commitment to each other in a way that felt truly ours. We then spent 15 days traveling around Northern Italy and Switzerland, the honeymoon of our dreams. Now we are overjoyed to share our love and our marriage with you—our friends and family—and celebrate this new chapter in our lives. Thanks for being part of our journey—even from afar.
