About Us
Charlie moved to Buffalo, New York from Orange, California in summer 2019. Shortly thereafter, they began working at a local restaurant, where they became friends with Devøn’s then-roommate Noelle, who introduced us. We went to see the movie “Cats” in theaters, half as a joke, on December 23rd, 2019, and have seen each other on all but six nights since.
In March 2020, the COVID-19 lockdown pushed us to move in together and introduce our cats, and the rest is history. Charlie proposed on February 5th, 2021, and Devøn proposed back on March 23rd.
Given the uncertainty of event planning during the height of the pandemic, we decided to do a small elopement in our backyard and begin our marriage, while simultaneously planning a larger future celebration. We became legally married on May 23rd, 2021 in a small ceremony in our backyard in Devøn’s hometown of Buffalo, New York.
Charlie has lived in five different states in their life, but spent their childhood and adolescence in and around Boulder, Colorado. They have always dreamed of getting married in the mountains. This celebration has the added bonus of meaning we each get to marry each other in the place we call home!
One of the connections which strengthens our relationship the most is our mutually broad capacity for love. We are each blessed to be loved by larger families than most, and each believe in welcoming friends into our lives as if they were family, too. You are our beautiful village, and we are so, so lucky.
We are thrilled to invite all of you to Boulder. As much as Buffalo is the background to our love story, Boulder has been a secondary setting. We have an amazing time exploring up and down the Front Range together and have a bunch of recommendations for what you can do (besides watch us walk down the aisle) while you’re visiting on our Travel Tips page.
