Our Wedding

On September 12, 2024, four years from the day we met, we eloped and officially got married just the two of us-and the dogs! Now, we would like to bring together all of our closest friends and family to celebrate our love story! Over the course of four years we have experienced love, loss, fun, adventure, growth, and a lot of laughter together. We've endured a year and a half of long distance, a pandemic together, two moves over three different states, and every hardship that came along the way. Over four years, we also celebrated two graduations, chased our career goals, traveled to new places, climbed a lot of mountains, became first-time homeowners, added another dog to our little family, and made a lot of amazing memories. Our story is just beginning, and we are so excited to celebrate with all of our people who have supported us along the way!

Eats

Our realtor mentioned this spot to us when we were closing on our home, since then it has become our favorite spot to go for brunch, catch a Sunday football game, or to get together with a group for a drink!

Josh & John's

Ben brought me to this food hall/brewery on one of our first Colorado vacations together years back after stumbling in to it on a TDY with friends. It's one of our most visited spots to grab a beer, chose between the different food options, and end with a nightcap in the speakeasy downstairs.

Ivywild School

T-Byrds Tacos & Tequila

Living in Kansas, one of our favorite date night spots was the local speakeasy. Since moving to Colorado, this is our favorite spot for an old fashioned! They have a great happy hour and a cool atmosphere.
