Boy spots Girl at a backyard BBQ. Boy does not have the courage to speak to Girl. Girl has no clue.

Boy pesters roommate to go back to one of these BBQs. Finally, roommate relents.

Boy sees Girl again. Girl sees Boy. They talk… cats, music, etc.

Boy and Girl go on first date, second date, third date… four and a half years, several music festivals, 19 states, 7 countries, 2 graduate degrees, 2 cats, a brief stint of homelessness (thanks Grace & Nick!), and 1 happy home later they’ve decided to make this thing official!

So, on a warm July morning, Boy drags Girl high into the Colorado mountains, finds a quiet spot and good view, and with only nature bearing witness, Boy puts a ring on it. Girl says yes, and here we are.
