Surprisingly enough, we met on Hinge! Our first date was at Beerworks in Carbondale. Kate ordered broccoli as an appetizer and Luke nearly fainted. We hit it off, talked for hours, and enjoyed the rest of that summer on the river, hiking, fishing, and sharing our lives with one another.
Luke proposed at the top of Mt Sopris on the morning of Sunday July 30th, 2023. The proposal was intimate, romantic, and beautiful with the views at the summit. Mt Sopris is not only the most scenic, beautiful mountain as you make your way into the Roaring Fork Valley, but it's the mountain that reminds us of our proposal and how we met in this special place. We call it our bubble and our home, and now Mt Sopris is special to us in more ways than one.
