It was a frigid January evening in 2022, Capitol Hill, Denver, and Tim was on a mission to conquer the world of snow and mountains in his new Denver life. Little did he know, he was about to conquer something even more adventurous—meeting Josey.

Tim, a recent transplant to the Mile High City by way of Chicago (and Dallas, and Atlanta, and Youngstown…), was navigating his way through the local scene when

he stumbled upon a cozy neighborhood bar. There, among the chatter and clinking glasses, he spotted Josey (their meeting was absolutely not preplanned through a dating app-it was totally spontaneous, okay?).

The night was the perfect mix of awkward introductions and accidental elbow bumps at the crowded bar. Tim, fresh with excitement about his first winter as a

local, rambled on about his love for Denver and the Rockies, while Josey casually sipped her drink, silently amused by his enthusiasm (and the fact that they had grown up close to one another, her hometown being right outside Pittsburgh, PA).

Fast forward a few months, and Tim was already planning his first big move: introducing Josey to his family on a trip to Salt Lake City. Josey found herself in the midst of total Shives’ chaos—a baptism by fire, or rather, plenty of board games, family meals, and a minor water-skiing accident.

Josey had similar plans for Tim, his hazing by the Hall’s and Landis’s wasn’t far behind. In the following months Josey dragged Tim around the US to meet them all; from nursing school graduations in Sacramento, New Year’s in New Orleans, and weddings in St. Pete, little by little Tim met each person dear to Josey, too.

Traveling around the country would become a staple throughout Tim and Josey’s relationship; somewhere between Moab's red rock canyons and Seattle’s Pike

Market, Tim and Josey found themselves struck by love.

Currently living just a stone’s throw down Colfax from where they first met (and across the street from the park where he proposed), Tim and Josey spend their time in the Congress Park neighborhood but still traveling the country and escaping to the mountains as often as possible. They couldn’t be more excited to invite you to join them in a celebration of their love and union in the city they both call home.
