Abby and Patrick met in 2016 at the University of Arizona's student outdoor recreation program. Climbing, camping, hiking, and rafting together turned into a relationship in 2019.

After spending a year apart - Abby in Tucson and Patrick in Boise - they moved up to Montana together to start their grand adventure together.

Raft guiding in the summers, skiing in the winters, and traveling together all around the West eventually brought them (and their dog, Kenai!) to Taos, New Mexico.

Countless adventures along the way including traveling to Guatemala to meet Patrick's family, Paddison family crawfish boils, rafting all over the place (including Mexico!) eventually brought them to a river trip down Cataract Canyon. There, Patrick proposed to Abby at the confluence of the Colorado River and Green River - their favorite place in the world.

We are so excited to see all of our favorite people at such a beautiful venue here in New Mexico, and to celebrate our love with all of you. Cheers!
