Our Wedding

Mary and I got set up by our friends Chris and Kelsey Ogden and our relationship started on the dance floor.We met at the Grizzly Rose in Denver and I quickly impressed her with my swing dancing skills (I don't think that is a lie!), but there was a problem. She was leaving in two weeks to do travel nursing contracts.After a couple dates, we kept talking everyday and taking things slow as she made the trip to Idaho for her first contract. I think at that time, we both knew there was something special about our relationship.Over the next two years, we'd chased each other around the country, spent a lot of time in airports, and explored new places together. We learned a lot about intentional time and communication in those times.I'm happy that time is past us, but we wouldn't be where we are today without it. From swing dancing one night, to swing dancing forever. I love you M and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
