Our Wedding

Just a couple of weeks&nbsp;after I learned how to skateboard, I joined some friends one night&nbsp;to&nbsp;skate a&nbsp;backyard ramp in Golden, Colorado. Trying to get the hang of wheels&nbsp;under my feet, I repeatedly&nbsp;fell on my face trying to drop in on the ramp. What made falling on my face so enjoyable was coming back stronger each time....oh, and the cute bearded fellow who kept encouraging me to keep kicking ass.&nbsp;What started as a few exchanges of words of encouragement turned into a night filled with giggles and thrilling conversations with this adorable, charming guy who drove me to push myself to success. I knew off the bat I couldn't let this one out of my sight. Still haven't and never will. -Maddy

This gorgeous girl showed up at the ramp&nbsp;and started skating with us. At first I&nbsp;didn't know what to say, she fell pretty hard a few times. She was so close to riding it away. So I&nbsp;gave her my encouragements;&nbsp;Little did I&nbsp;know she would listen to me. We kept talking as the night went&nbsp;on&nbsp;and figured out we had a lot in&nbsp;common. After talking for a while, I had to leave and she asked me for my number. That was the night my life changed. The rest of our summer was epic:&nbsp;&nbsp;filled with camping, skateboarding, swimming, cliff jumping and so many other adventures. It was the day she hucked herself off a 40 foot cliff into a reservoir that I knew I was going to marry this girl.-Jeff
