We met over drinks at one of our favorite local brewery's, Fieldhouse, through our mutual friend, Max, who at the time was Heather's co-worker and Paul's roommate. A few hangouts with friends later and we knew we were meant to be. And the rest is history.

Our first official date was a day of hiking at Cheyanne Mountain State Park filled with waterfalls, huge trees, and beautiful vistas. After hiking we took a walk around the lake at The Broadmoor, a gorgeous historical hotel, and stopped at The Golden Bee for libation and snacks.

Paul planned an amazing dinner at Bonny & Reed's followed by a trip back to The Broadmoor where we had our first date. As we walked around the lake, Paul stopped Heather under a street lamp, dropped to one knee, and asked her to marry him. And just like that we were engaged! Paul's sister Anna was in on the action and managed to snap some great pictures of the moment from the bushes were she was hiding. We finished the evening with a celebratory drink at The Golden Bee.
