We met drinking beer and playing kickball…

In September, 2016 Nicole & Chase joined a social kickball league not really knowing anyone on the league. In typical Nicole fashion, she immediately took control as captain announcing batting order and field positions as Chase watched with a smile. Following kickball they went over to a bar to play flip cup. When Nicole realized that her team was a player short in flip cup, rather than back out to balance the teams, she decided to play twice ambidextrous. Both times she played she was able to move forward immediately and Chase continued to be impressed. After the second or third week of playing he asked for Nicole’s number while balancing on a parking curb. Nicole was on her way to pick up Astrid (one of her Maid of Honors) from the airport. She quickly gave her number and Chase said “Okay, I’m going to go before I mess anything up…” Nicole picked up Astrid and with a huge grin on her face told her that she just gave a guy her number and she thinks she really likes him.

Astrid immediately jumped on the opportunity and pushed Nicole to invite Chase to join them out with her (then boyfriend, now husband), Hugo Ernesto. The four had an incredible time over the weekend going to bars, restaurants and exploring Denver.

Nicole & Chase continued to date after Astrid & Hugo left and found a lot in common with their passion for entrepreneurship, outdoors, and drinking more beer. A little after a year and a half of dating they bought a house in Edgewater just a half a mile from the place they met. A little after three years of dating they got a puppy named Stranahan. Fast forward, many many amazing memories Chase proposed…
