BUZZ, NEW MATCH! We matched on Bumble in March of 2020 at the start of the pandemic. We spent the first 2 weeks sending each other book-length text messages before finalizing our first meet-up at a nearby park McConnell's Mills. We had a feeling we met our true match when we both showed up with multiple options of hiking shoes. With our new “social distancing” orders, we set off on our planned 5-mile hike. We ended up talking and laughing every step of that trail and before we knew it, we had hiked all 13 miles. Our second date was just as eventful. A nice, quiet kayak ride through North Park Lake escalated into citations which left us land-stricken and out $120 each. When we thought the date (and our criminal records) were ruined, we both saved the day by secretly stashing a cooler of beer in hopes of continuing the conversation. We were inseparable after that. Over the next 2 years, our relationship took off (literally) with trips around the country, from Colorado to Maine to Mexico. In between travels, we bonded with each other's families over games of Oh Hell and Euchre and built new friendships together. This is where we really fell in love and knew we wanted to invest in a future together. Our love story came full circle when Bre proposed to Shaina at 12,000 feet on top of a mountain in the Maroon Bells in the sleeting rain/snow. A month later and after a couple of failed attempts due to weather, Shaina proposed to Bre on a hiking trip overlooking Rocky Mountain National Park. We are so excited to start this next chapter of our lives together. Thank you for your love and support. We can't wait to celebrate our love surrounded by our closest friends and family. See you in August!
