Our Wedding

Laura was born in Missouri, where she spent her early childhood before her family moved to Colorado in the early 1990s. By coincidence, that same year, Matt, born in Minnesota, relocated with his family to Missouri. During Laura's biannual trips back to Missouri to visit relatives, she unknowingly drove straight through Matt's hometown, passing within minutes of the boy she had yet to meet.After graduating from college, Matt eventually moved west to Colorado. Over the next decade, they continued a pattern of almost, but not quite, meeting. They lived in apartments across the street from each other, but at different times, and even shared the same favorite breakfast restaurant in Denver.Their long-running streak of missed connections finally ended in the summer of 2024, when they matched on the dating app Hinge. What had been years of near-intersections became an instant spark once they officially met in person. Since then, Laura and Matt have loved getting to know each other more deeply, sharing their love of cooking, exploring Colorado's many activities, and discovering just how naturally their lives fit together.They are thrilled to invite you to celebrate their marriage on the second anniversary of their first date, a moment that marks not just the beginning of their relationship, but the end of all the years they spent unknowingly circling toward one another.

Wedding Party

Spruce Mountain Ranch is an active cattle ranch. Please note the following guidelines: -While you are allowed to take photos with the cattle, entering the fenced pastures or touching the cattle is strictly prohibited. -Overnight parking after the event is not permitted. Uber/Lyft can also be difficult to get in the area. Please plan accordingly and schedule a ride share in advance or have a designated driver. -Spruce Mountain Ranch is at an elevation of over 6,800 feet above sea level (over an additional 1,500 feet above Denver). For our guests from out of town, we highly recommend increasing your water intake on your travel day to Colorado and staying hydrated throughout your time here. Being well hydrated helps prevent altitude sickness. -We recommend wearing comfortable footwear, as our ceremony site is on a hillside and seating will be on grass, making stiletto heels impractical. -Smoking is permitted only in designated areas. -Marijuana and other drugs are not allowed on the premises. -Alcohol will be provided; however, bringing your own drinks is not permitted. Thank you for your understanding!
