Our Story

Dancing Around

We knew each other long before we really met each other. We found each other on dance floors, always, for more than 10 years before our first date. We made eye contact one night across a room almost 4 years ago and I knew then he would ask me out. We stepped slowly toward each other, testing the waters and finding our confidence. I have never felt so safe with someone. We adventure and travel and dance and play, but we also do therapy to work out the kinks and are committed to being good partners. I have so much faith that we will both continue that journey, which is why I feel relaxed and confident marrying this man forever. This kind artist soul whose honest eyes have changed me.

THE ADVENTURES

Traveling and adventuring with Katie is one of the great joys of my life. I knew we had chemistry in dance, but our travel chemistry was realized on our first trip - to mexico. She carries so much calm that it just makes me feel at ease, even in moments that would otherwise be stressful. Another characteristic that I adore is her childlike wonderment for the sights and sounds of the world. The ability to see the world with fresh curiosity, joy and awe is so contagious and it makes every trip an adventure of a lifetime. I can't wait to explore the Earth with her and experience Life Together.
