Our Wedding

It all started in 2017 when Kelly was working at a restaurant with Josh's roommate at the time. His roommate posted a photo of him on Instagram and Kelly asked "Who on earth is that? And when can I meet him?"Josh was shy and Kelly was not and after some texting we went on our first date and have not been apart since. We ended our first date running through the sprinklers at Cheeseman Park on the way home from the bar and Kelly knew she found an adventure partner for life.After 2 weeks of dating Kelly told Josh she loved him and he said it back (phew! That was a wild move). We fell hard and fast and have been building our life together for the last 8 years in Denver.We bought our condo in 2023 and have been updating it to sell and buy a house house. We are planning to do so shortly after the wedding.We can't wait to have all of our favorite people in one place to celebrate us and our next adventure together!
