We met in our first couple days at the University of Denver in 2013 -- both arriving as transfer students in the business school. With dorm rooms just a few doors apart, we saw a lot of each other and became friends within a few weeks. It wasn't long until we were essentially inseparable: studying together, eating all our meals together, and spending hours at a time binging old episodes of Parks & Rec.
Despite years of rumors and accusations to the contrary, we remained just friends; that is, until Spain. To no one's surprise, just like we did everything else together, we chose to study abroad together in Sevilla, Spain, even getting placed with host families just a block apart.
During our semester abroad, we fell in love (no longer just friends) through early mornings on the metro to school, warm afternoons with cold Cruzcampos, and late nights at the reggaeton clubs.
We have been together and completely in love ever since. We've graduated college, navigated our careers, got a dog (Juniper), survived the COVID-19 pandemic, moved to Santa Fe, remodeled a home, and have continued to travel the world and eat the very best food we can find.
We can't wait to (finally) become husband and wife in 2025 and begin our next chapter together.
