We initially connected when Mathew lived in Colorado Springs and I (Sarah) lived in Denver in 2017. Due to living in different cities, we didn't give it much thought at first. We reconnected, 9 months later, when Mathew moved to Denver. Our first date was a snowy, Sunday brunch at The Hornet. We instantly bonded over our shared love of black labs, red wine, and Lululemon. We quickly planned 2 more dates for that same week, and now here we are planning the the most important day of our lives!

Mathew told me he was planning date night for that upcoming Friday night. On that Friday, he waited for me to come home to my apartment after work. After meeting me outside, he quickly ushered me into the elevator. I was confused, because we always took the stairs. Instead of pushing floor 3, he pushed Rooftop. He tricked me into thinking there was a special "star show" happening that night. In typical Sarah fashion, I was looking up at the sky, and initially missed the rose petal pathway on the rooftop. While I was asking where the star show was meant to be, Mathew got down on one knee behind me and popped the question under the stars with our favorite mountain view on the horizon. After popping some champagne on the rooftop, we celebrated the night with dinner and wine at our favorite, Denver restaurant, Angelo's.
