Our story starts in 2022, in the most ordinary of places—King Soopers—shortly after Noelle’s family moved back from Spain. A silly competition over who could collect the most shopping carts and a habit of writing cute nicknames on water bottles turned into an amazing love story, one that shared many mountain hikes, camping trips with friends and a shared love of the Colorado outdoors.

Braden showed Noelle the quieter rhythms and beautiful places of the U.S, his love for legos and being in the garage while Noelle brought endless (often terrible) dad jokes, her love for pickles, disney movies and a ready eagerness to join any adventure.

One of our favorite shared decisions was getting dirt bikes for Braden’s 19th birthday—an unforgettable time that still is around today.

In March 2026, Braden proposed overlooking Sunshine Canyon in Boulder, a spot full of meaning for both of us.

Our favorite days remain the simple ones: fresh air, bullying each other, and being together.

We are so excited and eager to start this new adventure in life, as husband and wife, grow in our Faith and see what this new chapter has in store for us!
