We're Getting Married!

Nick and Marie met from opposite sides of a beer pong table during a Halloween party, and Nick was a gracious loser. After a few weeks of Marie stopping by his desk at work to chat, Nick asked for her number and to go to a concert with him, however he never called and she was crestfallen. Nevertheless, she persisted. Finally, on March 17th, 2016 they shared their first kiss, and the rest is history.

Just before their dear friend Alyssa was about to move back east, Marie set up a photo shoot with her to have pictures taken of her, Nick, and Gambit. Unbeknownst to Marie, Nick had been preparing to propose to her for months, and took advantage of this perfect opening. During the photo shoot in Cheesman Park, in the middle of lovely rose bushes, Nick got down on one knee and asked Marie to marry him.

Over the past four years, we have shared countless experiences together, all contributing to who we are as individuals, and to our ever-growing relationship with each other. Here are some of the highlights: - Our amazing furbaby Gambit, adopted in June 2017, and all the joy that comes with him - Countless Rebelution concerts at Red Rocks, Cali Reggae Festival, Albuquerque, NM, and Bozeman, MT - Trips! Our favorites have been: Kauai, Hawaii, where we hiked the Napali Coast and sang Moana songs on a sunset cruise. Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks, where we were unprepared for the beauty we would see (and the climate we encountered). New Mexico, with its breathtaking views in the Sandia Mountains, llama farms, yurts, and immersive art at Meow Wolf. - Snowboarding, snowshoeing, hiking, backpacking, climbing, and basically being outside as much as we can, including lounging in the park - Game nights in with friends, old and new, arguing over scrabble words and schooling everyone in rummy
