Story
Tidbits
Who made the first move? How?
Patrick messaged Erin on Hinge after seeing a photo of her at a String Cheese Incident concert in Dillon, CO. He instantly recognized the stage and lights, and knew that we already had a connection through our mutual love of music!
What was your most memorable date?
We quickly discovered that we both love the outdoors and hiking. Since it was peak pandemic, we spent many of our first weekends together in the mountains of North Georgia. The first hike we took together was on the Appalachian Trail up to Unicoi Gap. The fall leaves were changing beautifully, and still to this day it is one of the most memorable hikes we've done together.
What's your favorite activity together?
So many! Going to see live music, hiking, or trying new restaurants. Our perfect weekend would include all three of these things!
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
We hope to explore Greece in Spring of 2024 as an official honeymoon. Right after our wedding, we plan to take a mini-moon exploring some of Colorado's best destinations.
What's the best meal you have eaten together?
Georgia Boy in Atlanta right before we moved to Denver! It was the most creative meal we've shared, and it was shared with some of our closest friends.
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
Pacific Northwest! We lived out of a van for 2 weeks, spending time in Seattle, North Cascades National Park, Olympic National Park, Mount Rainier National Park, Portland, Columbia River Gorge, and even spent 3 nights seeing one of our favorite bands–Phish at the Gorge! It was a truly epic vacation. We knew we could be together forever after living in a van and having the best time doing it.
A life goal of ours
To see as much of the world as possible.
