First Impressions
Steven couldn’t resist swiping right on the Hinge dating app when he saw Britni’s beautiful picture. Though the attraction was very much mutual, Britni needed her work life to slow down before responding. Once Britni did swipe right, Steven wasted no time in asking her out. The couple met that same evening for drinks at the Lustre Pearl.
Even though the pub was noisy, the conversation, which centered around their shared values of work and family, felt so easy that they made their second date midway through the first date.
As the couple parted it began to snow and Steven expressed concern for Britni’s safety on the drive home. His kindness and consideration did not go unnoticed.
The Friendship
From romantic sunset picnics to long walks and talks the couple took their time getting to know each other. There is no better way to get to know a person than to travel with them! The couple has many fond memories of flying through the mountains around Denver with Steven piloting the aircraft. One fly and drive adventure found them exploring Southern Colorado together then making the journey from New Mexico to Telluride and Santa Fe. The couple formed a strong friendship first and foremost thanks to so many bonding experiences like this. But the real commitment came when they brought Jackson into the fold. Long walks and games of chase with this beautiful black lab deepened the relationship. And yes, Jackson loves to fly too!
The Relationship
Just as they did on that first date the couple can still sit and talk for hours. They each respect one another’s work ethic and tease each other often about who’s the most stubborn between them. From Steven’s “loose” plans to Brit’s meticulousness, they love everything about each other. Steven loves Brit’s kind spirit and how deeply and selflessly she cares for other people. Brit loves how easy going and solid of a person Steven is and in spite of all her teasing Brit loves Steven’s spontaneous nature.
The Proposal
In spite of Steven’s reputation for “loose plans”. The proposal was in fact meticulously planned. The proposal would take place after a short flight to one of their favorite mountain towns where they would take a walk alongside the river. He even managed to get Brit excused from work early for the day without her suspecting a thing!
Alas mother nature had other plans that involved 60 mph gusts of wind so the short flight was out. Steven spontaneity saved the day. He got last minute reservations at a restaurant in Boulder with an incredible view (knowing of course that Brit loves scenery and amazing views). He proposed in this amazing intimate setting and Brit said yes. Already overwhelmed with joy Brit arrived home where many close friends and family members were waiting to congratulate them. Now that took solid planning!
The Wedding
Not much has changed with Steven and Britni’s commitment to work and family as they try to fit the wedding into to their tight work schedules while making sure to include as many friends and family as possible. The affair will be an informal casual celebration. What’s most important is your friendship and your presence if you are able to attend.

A note on wedding attire:
Dress Code
The dress code for this wedding is Beach Casual. Ladies can opt for a simple sundress, breezy maxi dress, or romper or shorts suit. Sandals are fine but you may want to avoid flip flops.
For the gentlemen, nice, short-sleeved shirts either button down or polos work well. Nice khakis or dressy shorts are also acceptable (think Chinos). Lightweight fabrics such as linen and cotton also work well in this climate. Lighter colors and/or bold prints will elevate your casual look.
Avoid denim, cargo, and swim shorts. Cotton t-shirts are not suggested in this climate. Typically it’s fine to wear a deck shoe, dress sandal or loafer but if you’re more comfortable in sneakers the couple is fine with that.
Steven and Britni are concerned above all with each guests’ comfort.
