Our Story...

Karl and I met on one of the most sought-after dating apps - LinkedIn. We had attended the same small college but had never met in person. When I saw his profile showing he was an alumni working at the same company I was moving to Virginia for, I reached out and asked about housing in the area. He responded with an entire PowerPoint presentation, and the rest is history.

After a little over a year of dating in Virginia, we decided the beach wasn't for us and made the move to Colorado. Since then, we have been living life to the fullest, backpacking, hiking, and camping as much as we can. One hike in particular to the Flat Irons in Boulder Colorado proved extra special when Karl popped the question at the top.

Being virtually the only two in both of our families that don't live in the northeast, we knew right away that we would be planning a wedding across the country. After taking a trip home to Albany, we toured the 408 Event and Occasion and fell in love. The details of the space spoke for themselves, and we loved that everything from the food, bar, and day-of coordination was done in-house.

Our wedding day was a day I'll never forget… filled with love, dancing, and so much smiling! We are forever grateful to our vendors who helped to make the day run so smoothly, and for all our family and friends that were able to celebrate with us.

special touches...

• Rehersal Lunch: The Boca Bistro

• For my 'something blue' I wore my great grandmother's ring. We were really close, so it was important to me that I had a peice of her on our special day.

• We had several guy friends whose significant others couldn't make it. We had 'fat heads' made of each of their significant others and pulled them out during the reception. It was a fun way to include our friends that couldn't be there, and made for some great laughs.
