Alison & Nate in Grand Lake, CO

The Bride Alison Hemp The Groom Nate Meadows The Date August 7 While dating long-distance, Alison, a 26-year-old supply chain manager, and Nate, a 33-year-old financial analyst, kept a journal that they sent back and forth. Later, when both had moved to Colorado, Nate mentioned to Alison that he had added some entries. I looked through the new entries, which detailed our move, Alison remembers, and on the last page, he had written 'Will you marry me?' Of course I said yes!
