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 two meet? John and I met on the school bus in 6th grade. We lived two blocks away from each other and were best friends all the way up to highschool. I went to college and grad school and John enlisted into the Marines. We never lost contact and remained good friends. We met up afterwards and the rest is history!

What was your favorite memory from your wedding day? Our wedding was, hands down, the most memorable experience in our lives! Being surrounded by all of our friends and family, we felt so much love! One of the moments that stands out to us was durring our first looks. I know John and I were full of nerves that whole day, but once we set eye on each other all the nervous feelings disappeared and we could focus on each other and all the love we felt from everyone who came to celebrate with us!

Do you have any advice for future couples? Just remember that your wedding day goes by so fast, make sure you stop and take in all of the little nuances along with all of the big exciting moments. You will want to remember every aspect of your day. Take the time to remember your long journey to this point and cherish every second. You will keep those memories for a lifetime!

Where did you go on your honeymoon? What activities did you do there? For our honeymoon, John and I went to Ireland. We bravely rented a car and made our way around the entire island! I was breathtaking! Some of our favorites  were where we could get back to nature, hiking, horseback riding, boating. We loved the food, the people and the culture!
