Wedding Date on Dec 21, 2019

Adrian and I started talking basically the second my feet hit the ground in Seattle. I had grown up in Boulder, Colorado, ventured slightly out of my comfort zone to Denver and was desperate to find my "launching pad" for the next phase of my life. I had gotten into graduate school at the University of Washington and was eager for something new. What I didn't realize was around the same corner was meeting the love of my life. We matched on Tinder and started talking immediately, this was shortly followed by a really "friend-zone worthy" first date. But despite all this, he stuck around, he was a shoulder to cry on, trustworthy, dependable, real... all while I was sorting out this new life far away from everyone and everything I had ever know. And I started to realize that maybe I had shut down something that actually was what I've been looking for all along. Andddddd turns out that that hunch was correct afterall because a year and a half after that date, I married that noob that shared way too much information at a Canadian themed hocky bar back on our first date. It's all nothing like I expected. I had plans carefully drafted from a young age. Timelines, trajectories, milestones... all mapped out. And I've missed the mark grossly in so many ways. But it's also all SO much better than what I could've attempted to create on my own will. And I can't wait to see what unfolds next for us!
