Pete and Kristy met on an online dating site—which felt a little scary for both of us but turned out to be one of the best things that's happened for us.

From the very beginning, laughter played a big role in bringing us together.

Pete’s dating profile mentioned that he and his son were proud Denver Broncos fans… while his daughter was a Seahawks fan (which immediately became great teasing material). Kristy, a lifelong Broncos fan herself—with a daughter just as passionate and a son who cheers for whoever the Broncos are playing just to tease her—knew she had to meet him.

When Pete realized Kristy was already a grandma (even though he’s technically older by a few months 😉), the playful banter officially began—and it hasn’t stopped since.

Our very first date was at the lake, a place that quickly became “our place.” We both love the water, the mountains, and being surrounded by family. Pete reintroduced Kristy to adventure—especially snow skiing—something she hadn’t done in years. And as if that wasn’t enough, Kristy quickly discovered that Pete loves to cook—and wow, he might just be the best cook ever!

We love spending time with family, friends, cheering on the Broncos, traveling together, and making memories wherever we go.

We’re so excited about blending our families, continuing to explore new places, and building a life filled with laughter, love, and adventure.

We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter at the lake, surrounded by our favorite people, as we say “I do” and begin forever together.
