We met while attending the University of Wisconsin - Madison! We both worked for the university recreation department, Alex as a photographer and Ciara as a cycling instructor. Alex was photographing a cycling photoshoot and Ciara was participating in the photoshoot, this is where we first met! Fast forward a few months, mutual friends were gathering to celebrate a friend's birthday and we recognized each other immediately. From the Nitty Gritty to State Street Brats, we were inseparable the entire night and the rest is history! We lived together in Madison, Wisconsin until January 2023 when we packed up our lives and headed to the mountains! We currently live in Denver, Colorado where we spend our summers hiking, camping and backpacking, and our winters skiing as much as possible! We are avid travelers and love exploring the world and experiencing new destinations together! Alex proposed while in Iceland celebrating our 7th anniversary. He popped the question in front of the Skógafoss waterfall; we got absolutely drenched by the waterfall, but it was perfect in every way possible! We are so excited for this next step in our lives and cannot wait to celebrate with all of our closest friends and family! All our love, Alex and Ciara
