We first met during a college internship over Microsoft Teams. What started as casual conversations soon led to the fun discovery that we lived near each other in Illinois and were both going to the same bar crawl. That night we finally met in person, and the next day Peter asked Julia on a date.

Our first date, going to the Chicago Riverwalk to grab food and drinks, turned into a 12 hour day of talking and getting to know each other. We instantly clicked and knew there was something special between us. A year later, Julia moved to Chicago from Denver to be closer to Peter, and we could begin picturing our lives together.

Two years later, over a couple of drinks, we planned a two and a half week road trip through six national parks. From the Badlands to Yellowstone, the Tetons, Glacier, Banff, and Jasper, it was the trip of a lifetime. After a day of kayaking on Lake McDonald, Peter proposed on a dock in Whitefish, Montana.

Today we love the little things just as much as the big adventures. We enjoy walking our dog Cola around the park, trying new restaurants, breweries, and cocktail bars, going to the gym together, debating fantasy football, and listening to Peter play guitar. Most of all, we love spending time together and cannot wait to celebrate the start of our next adventure with all of you.
