Join us for a weekend in the redwoods to celebrate the marriage of Ryan Born and Elle Koagedal
Ryan and Elle started dating in 2013 when they were in college.
A couple of years into the relationship they moved in together in San Francisco where they adopted their Korean rescue pup, Benny.
After 5 fun years in the city, Ryan and Elle moved to Boulder, CO for the great outdoors.
On a beautiful drive down the Northern California coast we stopped in Big Sur to enjoy the view.
We pulled over at the Bixby Bridge turnout where I (Ryan) proposed.
Early in our relationship we stopped here after backpacking near Sykes Hot Springs and noticed people enjoying the beach down below.
Wanting to enjoy the beach, we made the 260 ft trek down the hillside... which quickly became a cliffside without the ability to turnaround.
Luckily, we made it unscathed, but it was a very memorable, bonding experience and made for the perfect spot to propsose and overwrite it with a positive memory.
Help us celebrate 9 amazing years and the commitment to many more memorable years together.
Being deep in the redwoods, we're treating this as a destination wedding and hope most folks can visit us for the entire weekend.
We'll have a welcome reception on Friday night, the wedding on Saturday, and a farewell brunch on Sunday.
