Meredith and Conner

how we met

My friend and sorority sister, Sidney, came out to the University of Colorado for school and was dating a guy named Kirk from her hometown of Oceanside, CA. He went to school at Colorado State, and they sadly broke up sophomore year. They ended up getting back together our senior year when Sidney and I were living together. Every time Kirk came to Boulder for a visit, he would tell me I needed to meet his roommate Conner – I wasn’t really interested. Similarly, every time Sidney went to Fort Collins for a visit, she would tell Conner he needed to meet me – he wasn’t really interested. This went on for months until they ultimately moved back to California after school. One week after graduation (and after Sidney and Kirk had already moved – sorry guys!), Conner asked me on a date and we’ve been together ever since.

how they asked

We were staying up in the mountains for a couple of days over New Years with Conner’s brothers and their wives. Before we started our festivities for New Years Eve, we decided to check out the Ice Castles in Dillon. It was so cold, but the temperature was quickly forgotten when Conner got down on one knee in the middle of an ice cave and asked me to marry him!
