Our Wedding

Our Story began on an app called Hinge. The slogan of the app is "the app designed to be deleted", and that it was! Our first date took place on March 15th, 2021 at a cocktail lounge called Lady Jane. It was a very cold and snowy evening in Denver, only two days after a storm had brought 15 inches of snow to Denver. Kayla remembers being intrigued by Logan and his stories after their first date and wanting to get to know him more. Logan thought for sure Kayla had no interest in him as she appeared to be more interested in watching the bartenders make craft cocktails the entire date. She just found it mesmerizing to watch them!

Our dates quickly turned into adventures together, hikes exploring Colorado, Kayla asking Logan to help her buy and move a couch for her living room, exploring new restaurants together. We quickly found ourselves seeing each other every other day, learning more and more about each other with each date. Logan was working east coast hours and Kayla had just graduated from undergrad and was studying for her NCLEX. This gave us a lot of time to see each other in the evenings and get to know each other very quickly.

Kayla went dress shopping with her bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law! It only took her 3 bridal appointments to say I-do to her dress.

Wedding Details

The story of Kayla and Kaitlyn begins 21 days after Kayla was born. The two grew up together, living a mile apart from each other and have prioritized their friendship throughout the years. From gymnastics classes together to softball to vacation bible school in the summers, these two have done it all together. They have not let time nor distance dictate the strength of their friendship even while living in different states throughout their adult life 

Kaitlyn Hughes 

While Kayla and Kali have only known each other for 4 years, their friendship feels much deeper than that. It wasn't until Nate and Kali moved to Denver that Kayla and Kali met. Kayla knew after that first hike together that she and Kali were going to get along just fine. They quickly grew closer, going on hot girl walks with their dogs, early morning workout classes, numerous camping trips together, becoming ski buddies, and sharing many bottles of wine together. 

Kali Grose

Skyler is Logan's sister, who hit things off with Kayla immediately after meeting her.

The two love engaging in shennanigans when together and Kayla couldn't be more excited to officially have a sister!

The three of them enjoy meeting up at ski resorts, exploring breweries, camping, or watching each others dogs.

Wedding Party

DIA is the easiest airport to fly in and out of for our wedding. Please be warned that it is a large airport and has train transportation to all the terminals. Please give yourself plenty of time to be at the airport before your flight.

Denver International Airport

If you would prefer to avoid a long uber ride from the airport, you can take the train from DIA to Union Station in Downtown Denver. It is a 30 minute ride and costs $10. Union Station has many shops and restaurants surrounding it and is only a few blocks away from where we used to live downtown! It is a fun area to explore. If you are looking for a bite to eat, we suggest walking a few blocks to "Milk Market".

Denver Union Station

We have reserved a room block at this hotel for our guests. As our celebration falls on a holiday weekend, we’ve also secured the special room rate for Sunday night—perfect for those who wish to extend their stay and enjoy a little extra time exploring beautiful Colorado.
