We met in May of 2019 while working at Walt Disney World. We met after being placed at Toy Story Mania within weeks of one another. We hung out as friends in groups of people, but never spent time together alone. We finally went out on our first date in August at Disney's Polynesian Resort for drinks and fireworks on the beach, and have been inseparable since.
Months after that, we made it through quarantining during the COVID-19 pandemic together. Amidst the craziness of all that happened in 2020, we got engaged in August 2020 at Disney's Wilderness Lodge (one of our favorite places) on our one year anniversary. We have spent the past few months working multiple jobs at once, going to school, and wedding planning.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and all of the "unknowns" that so many of us face each day during this unprecedented time, we didn't feel that the traditional wedding route was for us. As much as we wish it were possible for us to safely have a traditional wedding with all of our loved ones, we felt that it wasn't in the cards for us. For the health and safety of our friends and families, we made the decision to have a destination wedding with only each other and a few immediate family members and friends. We will be getting married 4/3/21 in Estes Park, Colorado. We are both believers that everything happens for a reason and we honestly couldn't be more excited for our special day!
