Thomas and Emily's story began in May 2022 at Three Spirits Tavern in Bellevue, KY. Emily was a regular on Thursdays when Thomas was bartending, and after months of crossing paths, Thomas finally asked her on a date in September. The date was fun, they went to what would become their favorite restaurant, Otto's in Covington, followed by a local comedy show, and, of course, ended the evening back at Three Spirits Tavern.

As they spent more time together, Emily, encouraged by her friends, invited Thomas to a wedding in Mexico that December. The trip was awesome, and Thomas quickly won over all of Emily's college friends. To start the new year, Thomas surprised Emily with a getaway to Gatlinburg, TN, and in March, they traveled to LA, where Emily met more of Thomas's family and cheered on his sister, Molly, as she ran the LA Marathon. After the race, they embarked on an adventure up the PCH during a wild storm, enjoying the empty roads and breathtaking scenery. Their journey ended in Napa, where they indulged in wine and unforgettable experiences.

By late May, Thomas learned he was being transferred to Denver for work and asked Emily to move with him. Their relationship was thriving, and the decision was an easy "yes!" One of their first memorable weekends in Colorado was in Breckenridge, where they explored Boreas Pass and took in the stunning mountain views. Little did they know, exactly one year later, Thomas would propose at that very same spot.

Now, Emily and Thomas (and their dogs - Murray and Sadie!) are building a life together in Denver and have fallen in love with Colorado. They can't wait to celebrate with all their friends and family this October!
