online. We met using Bumble. Our first date was February 20th 2019. We moved in together May of 2020. Shea proposed while on a camping trip at The Lake of the Ozarks in 2024. (Thank you Kate for helping Shea!) We have been on many camping adventures together. We adopted a second cat together (Shea came as a package deal with his cat Vex). We have moved three times including moving in together. We have had more board game nights than I can reliably count.
We have opted to rent out an entire property for our wedding to weekend so that we can spend quality time with our friends and family. The venue has 6 cabins and a main lodge. The property has 40 beds for us and our guests. The dates we have rented this property are October 29th, 2026 - November 2nd, 2026. Check in on the 29th is after 4PM and check out on the 2nd is 10AM. The FAQ section answers some questions that our guests may have. We have also included a link to the property so everyone can plan accordingly. It was important to us to find a way to spend time together. We want to play board games and go on walks with you. We want to celebrate our love for each other and our love for our family and friends. We also want our guests traveling for our wedding to know they have an option to stay and hang out for an entire weekend. If you're more comfortable staying at a nearby hotel or driving an RV to a nearby campground we completely understand. If you live in Colorado and can only make the day of the ceremony and reception but need to get home, we understand that too! Our plan is to send out an email with a google form to our guests that RSVP yes to get more information about your stay. That way we can plan on who will be staying, for how long, and where.
