One sunny day nearly ten years ago, Julie set out on a solo hike, craving some mountain air and adventure. Meanwhile, Josh and his buddies just happened to hit the same trail—music playing, mid-push-up break, full of energy and good vibes.

Just a few minutes in, our paths crossed.

A shared laugh over a Tough Mudder t-shirt sparked conversation—turns out, we’d both recently conquered the muddy madness, and that was all it took to strike up a connection. I (Julie) carried on ahead, encouraging the guys to enjoy their hike… but Mother Nature had other plans. Stormy weather rolled in, and most hikers turned back.

But not us.

Josh’s crew and I were the only ones crazy enough to push for the summit, and sure enough—we ran into each other again at the top. From there, we hiked down together… and let’s just say, we never really stopped.

That spontaneous trail meet-up turned into the best kind of adventure—one that’s led us here, almost exactly ten years later, ready to say I do in the same mountain magic that brought us together.

We spent the next few months meetin gup for adventures and finally decided to start dating a few months later. Our first year togeterh we bagged many mountains and made many great adventures together!
