We have been dating since August 18th, 2017, but things really became serious after our first trip to Colorado. Joel spent a lot of our first few months together talking about how he wanted to see Colorado, and Alyssa being the planner decided to book a trip. We spent time in Denver, Central City, and ended the trip with a stay at the Stanley Hotel. The historic Stanley Hotel quickly became one of our favorite places, and was a big reason we decided to elope in Estes Park, CO. We have been to Colorado every year we have been together, and are lucky enough to be getting married on our 5 year anniversary. We are so happy that we are able to have our perfect, small wedding in Colorado while still getting to celebrate with all of you in Wisconsin!
