Dylan and Mandy met in 2014 at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, CO. They spent several years as close friends before their relationship evolved over craft beers and playing pool. Their first date as an official couple was a Jon Pardi concert at the Grizzly Rose in January 2017.

The next 3 years were spent visiting breweries all over Northern Colorado and Denver, graduating nursing school and EMT school, attending concerts and festivals, exploring 6 European countries, annual birthday trips, lifting weights, and navigating life with 2 crazy pups!

Dylan proposed on September 28th, 2020 at a casino themed escape room in Downtown Denver. Mandy had absolutely no idea and it was the easiest "Yes" of her life.
