How did you meet each other? We met in high school and dated from junior year through college. We went separate ways for a couple of years after college but were inevitably back together after running into one another on St Patrick’s Day of 2012. We knew for sure that we were meant to be and have been together nearly everyday since. We quickly bought a house, got engaged and started making plans for our future together.

What was the best memory from your wedding day? We have 2 favorite memories. The first is walking down the isle. This was the first time we saw each other because we didn't do a first look.  So many emotions go through you in that moment. Everyone around you is blurred, you don't notice any noise. It's just the two of you connecting at a level you've never felt before. Our other favorite memory is all the stories that were told over dinner by our bridesmaids and groomsmen during toasts. We were laughing, crying and feeling SO loved. We were overwhelmed with support,  and could feel an amazing bond of love and friendships from all of our favorite people. What would be some advice you would give to future couples? Cody: Listen to your bride to be and start planning early, it can take some of the stress out of the process.  Also, hire a day of coordinator.  Bre: Be organized! I was probably overboard with my charts, printouts, and mock tables, but it really ensures that your day goes exactly how you want it. I concur..... hire a day of coordinator. It takes the stress away and lets you enjoy what the day is all about! Where did you go on your honeymoon?  Would you recommend it to others? We honeymooned in the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana. We stayed at the Bavoro Princess and it was absolutely wonderful. The weather was amazing, the beaches were the most beautiful we had ever seen and the people were extremely nice and accommodating. Relaxing together on the beach everyday was perfect and never got old. We did do several activities. Our favorites were the Catamaran and Coco Bongo. We went on a Catamaran boat tour that took us fishing, snorkeling, and to a private island. They cooked us fresh fish and lobster, taught us all about the Dominican culture, and brought us to a sand bar party. We also saw a show at Coco Bongo.  The performers were amazing and we had a blast.

How did you two meet? Kevin and Meagan first met in 2002 at Dunstan Middle School in Lakewood, Colorado. They had many mutual friends throughout high school and some of the same classes, such as Biology. When they learned they would both be Colorado Buffaloes they started talking much more. Kevin and Meagan attended "Freshman Welcome Week" together, including going to movies on Farrand Field and book shopping. Luckily, Meagan didn't have a car at CU so Kevin kindly gave her many rides back to Lakewood on the weekends. Within the first month of school they knew they were definitely more than friends. On October 16, 2008, after an incredible Italian date at Cafe Antica Roma on Pearl Street, Kevin and Meagan became "official" and have been together ever since!

Work opportunities (and knowing they couldn't be apart) brought the couple to New York City, the summer following graduation. Kevin was offered a position at Oberon Asset Management, where he interned during college, and Meagan completed her Master's degree while teaching in Brooklyn. A NYC adventure, while being far away from home, brought Meagan and Kevin even closer together.

On the evening of Sunday, March 2, 2014 Meagan came home from seeing her friend Sam and opened the door to find rose petals, candles spelling out "Marry Me?" and Kevin down on one knee (with the perfect ring), along with dinner from their favorite Italian restaurant/vino on the table! Of course she said, "yes!" Naturally, they immediately celebrated by heading out to their favorite ice cream spot.

The future Mr. and Mrs. Tracey cannot wait to move back home to Colorado and say "I do!" in the presence of loving family and friends on July 24, 2015!"

*We moved back to CO June 1 to Denver, CO where we now both work from home. :)

What was your favorite memory from your wedding day? The best memory of our wedding day for Kevin was saying "I do" and for Meagan it was Kevin's face as I was walking down the aisle to him. This was such a special moment. 

Do you have any advice for future couples? For future couples planning their wedding day I would recommend making sure to soak in every moment of the day because it goes so, so quickly! Also, if everything doesn't go as planned don't worry, just enjoy the blessing of what the day is all about! 

Where did you go on your honeymoon? For our honeymoon we went to San Francisco, California for the first few days and then Maui, Hawaii for about a week. We stayed at the Westin in both locations and loved it! We enjoyed our wine tasting tour in Napa/Sonoma and snorkeling, a luau, and lots of relaxation in Hawaii. We highly recommend this honeymoon trip to other couples!

How did you meet each other? We met when Ellen moved to Denver in 1995 and started 3rd grade at Our Lady of Fatima School, where Matt also attended.  We went on to go to high school together and started dating after we had an art class together junior year.  We continued to date during our time at CSU and had 11 years as a couple full of fun and adventures leading up to our wedding!

What was the best memory from your wedding day?

The best memory of our wedding day was the overall feeling of love and joy that came from having so many people that care about us gathered together.  It was pretty amazing for us both to have our closest friends and family all in one place to help us celebrate our wedding!

 Do you have any advice for future couples? Our advice to future couples as they plan their weddings is to make sure to find some time to enjoy the small moments.  Everyone always comments on how quickly your wedding day will fly by, and it is totally true!  Take a moment to enjoy all your hard work and soak in the happiness of the day.

 Where did you go on your honeymoon? We went to the beautiful country of Belize for our honeymoon.  We both love to scuba dive and Hamanasi, our resort near the village of Hopkins, had the perfect mix of diving and other fun excursions.  We went "cave tubing" which involved floating and swimming through an amazing river/cave system used by the Mayans.  We also went on a beautiful hike through the rainforest that ended with us swimming in a gorgeous pool and waterfall.  Even with all these awesome activities, we found plenty of time to relax in our treehouse room and on the beach after all the hustle and bustle leading up to the wedding!  Hamanasi was an amazing place to stay with wonderful people, great food, and a beautiful beach.  Would highly recommend it to anyone!
