Our Wedding

We were lucky enough to find each other in the early days of COVID lockdown. After chatting on Bumble online, we decided to meet for our first "date". It was the days of no haircuts and restaurant closures, so we grabbed a to-go margarita and walked around a park for several hours getting to know each other. The rest is history. We fell in love when we had nowhere to go and nothing to do and have fallen even more in love as we've gotten to experience more together. We can't wait for all there is to come...

How We Met

We got engaged just outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico. After a cold start to the year, Andrew planned a surprise vacation to a natural mineral hot springs spa. He carried the ring around the entirety of the trip looking for the perfect moment to pop the question. We ended up going on a hike to an mountainous overlook. One of Kristin's favorite pastimes is collecting rocks she calls "lucky stones" on her outdoor adventures. We got to a section of the trail with a very scenic overlook and I snuck behind Kristin's back and got down on one knee. I said "Hey, Kristin. I found another rock that I think you might like". She turned around and I had her engagement ring out and asked her to marry me.
