Kayla here, and you get to hear about our story from my perspective!

Alex and I met in McBride Hall, freshman year at Miami University. We shared some mutual friends and we quickly turned into a friend group for life. Many of those friends are in our wedding! Alex and I instantly became best friends because we had so much in common.

Sophomore year came around and we decided to give dating a try. Of course, I made the first move and I was happy he felt the same way about me. It wouldn't be long before winter break, so Alex cooked me dinner and asked if I wanted to make it official. My reaction was, "Are you sure?". We laugh now because both of us were so sure about "us".

After graduating college, we did three years of long distance dating. Alex got an incredible job with Nestle and I took a gap year before going to graduate school. Over those three years Alex lived in California, Idaho and Colorado and I spent two years at Indiana University. Although we were apart, we got to experience so much of our country, visiting each other.

When graduation came around, I was hired by Opera Colorado and it was the perfect excuse for Alex and I to move to Denver, as we had wanted. We moved in together and adopted our sweet golden-doodle puppy, Bailey.

We spend just about every weekend in the mountains, fly fishing, camping, hiking and skiing. We wanted to get married at Piney River Ranch so we could share the lifestyle we love so much, with all of the people that mean the most to us.
