We Got Married!
The Big Day
A special thank you to our dear friend Jeff Chen for capturing these special memories
Nothing fancy, just love
...and a tax break! :)
We made the decision to have a small intimate ceremony with our immediate family in Frazier Park, California.
We plan to visit Madison, Denver, and Chicago to still celebrate with many of you throughout the year!
Although we did not have you all with us in person on this special day, we invite you all to view the special moments captured in the album above and read more about the day on the Ceremony page.
"Did you just give me trash?"
-- Karolina Nowak
Kevin is not keen on grand gestures, but he couldn't have chosen a better way to propose.
Denali- Elevation 20,310 ft
This was by far the hardest experience for us both. It took endurance, mental strength, and many blisters. I'm not sure if Kevin would have attempted it without me, but I surely couldn't have done it without him.
At the summit, after taking in the surreal views, Kevin reached into my pocket. In my mental exhaustion, I assumed he was handing me garbage. No trace left behind, right? When I reached in, I was shocked to find a ring instead!
In perfect Kevin fashion, he casually and discreetly proposed in an area where less than 1,000 people attempt the climb each year, and of those, approximately half reach the summit.
I guess he liked our odds :)
