We met in Keystone, CO, where we both found ourselves working in the ski industry doing jobs we loved. Our first encounter was at work, but it didn’t take long for us to realize we wanted to spend time together outside of the office. Our first date was an adventure from the start—a hike up to Erickson Bowl for some amazing powder laps, followed by a cold beer at our favorite local brewery, Steep. From the beginning, we saw in each other a shared love for the outdoors and adventure. What started as a first date quickly turned into a lifetime of incredible experiences. We’ve journeyed together from Moab to camping and backpacking locally, adventured deep into the backcountry, ski patrolling as our passionate career, and discovered our shared love for ice climbing—a sport that continues to challenge and inspire us. Each year, we’ve celebrated our anniversary with ice climbing, marking the passage of time with the very thing that brought us closer together. And after four incredible anniversaries spent scaling frozen waterfalls and summiting ice-covered peaks, we’ve decided to take on the next biggest adventure of our lives: getting married! Now, as we stand on the brink of the next chapter of our lives, we are excited to continue our adventurous journey together. We are ready to embrace all the unknowns, with love, laughter, and of course, plenty of outdoor escapades and wine tastings along the way. We can't wait to celebrate our love and commitment with you all as we say “I do” and continue this adventure, hand in hand.
