The Love Story
It all began freshman year of college when we first met through our campus ministry, RUF. We were both on the worship team, just two casual acquaintances, never really knowing one another. And then one day a few ~years~ later in the spring of 2021, Amber made the first move and started flirting with the really cute boy in RUF. From there, the rest is basically history, we started dating, graduated from college, moved to Denver, and finally got engaged in Burlington, VT this past spring where we first met! Now we're so excited to be starting our lives together and get married this year!

Travel
Flight
DIA - Denver International Airport
We recommend flying directly into DIA if traveling from out of town. Don't forget to stop by some of the stranger Denver attractions! See the gargoyles at baggage claim and Blucifer (a blue horse sculpture with red eyes who killed his artist by falling on him) located outside the airport.
Rental Car
Rental Car, Uber, Lyft or RTD public transit
DIA is 15-20 minutes outside of the city, so we recommend planning ahead for transportation. Please be aware that the train is not easily located near all of Denvers attractions and you may also need an Uber or Lyft to some of the best spots!
Hotel
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Denver
This DoubleTree includes an available room block for any out of town guests! Feel free to book elsewhere such as Airbnb or Vrbo if you like, but this hotel is only 15 minutes from our venue!

Things To Do
Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge
BISON ALERT! If you want to see a place brimming with wildlife (birds, bison, prairie dogs and more) but don't have the time to drive out to Rocky Mountain National Park, we highly recommend taking a drive through the Arsenal right within the Denver Metro. (There's even a podcast that will guide you through each mile of the drive!)
RiNo
River North Arts District This is a great neighborhood filled with great breweries, restaurants, shops, and the best public art the city has to offer! Stroll through the streets during the day to see incredible art at every turn, and come back at night for food trucks and a fun nightlife. (This is one of the areas we like to frequent most for a night out in Denver!)
Rockies Game - Coors Field
Enjoy a baseball game in the mile high city and watch one of the cheapest games money can buy. We've loved spending afternoons and evening with our friends at Rockies Games since moving to Denver, and we're sure you will too! The Rockies might not always be on top, but they're definitely up high!
Pearl Street Mall - Boulder
Uncover the charm of Downtown Boulder, where nature meets urban sophistication. Experience Pearl Street Mall: shop at boutiques, indulge in local cuisine, and immerse yourself in live performances. Discover Boulder's spirit at Pearl Street Mall – it might remind you of a place back east (Burlington, VT)!
Rocky Mountain National Park
Experience the Rockies at their best! Rent a car and make your way up to the National Park (and don't forget to make a reservation ahead of time)! This was one of the first things we did together in Colorado, and it is even prettier in real life! Drive through the cute town of Estes Park for lunch and pick up a souvenir on your way out. It's absolutely worth the drive if you can make it, and you might even want to check out a quick hike if you've got the time.
Stanley Marketplace
An indoor market located in an old warehouse building is a great stop for anyone looking for a quick bite and a little entertainment. Get incredible bagels at Rosenbergs Bagels and walk around to see the eclectic shopping options, or get empanadas and sit outside! We love walking around the neighboring Central Park then stopping here for a treat!
Black Box Bakery
An amazing bakery in an indoor marketplace that's famous for their cube croissants. This is a amazing bakery where you can't go wrong with anything (even their coffee). We loved going here for a cut breakfast date and think you might love it too! Make sure to try a few pasteries and share them with someone you love!
