Meeting at sea eight years ago was only the beginning. After a few months of friendship, we went on a hike in Northern California, and knew it was the start of something bigger. Each adventure kept going further and higher than the last. Our times apart proved how capable we were as individuals, and how strong we were when we came back together. Our relationship has brought us to the top of over ten glaciated peaks, journeys to other hemispheres, and through the crests and valleys of life. The time apart made us appreciate how much it means to be together, so to share our wedding day with friends and family means so much more to us--now more than ever.
