Our Wedding

3 years ago, Parker headed off to Western Europe. He had been planning a solo backpacking trip, specifically the Tour du Mont Blanc — it’s a 7-11 day trek through France, Switzerland, and Italy. 5 days into his hike, Parker reached the Fenêtre d'Arpette pass, when he heard a faint cry for help echo in the distance. Unknown at the time, Leah had also set off for the same hike as a solo trip. She was one day ahead of Parker on the trail, when she tripped and rolled 10 feet into a steep ravine, spraining her ankle and breaking her phone in the process. Unable to use her phone to call for help, Leah’s only hope was for someone to come along the same path and find her. As the hours passed, she was starting to lose faith. But, fate intervened, putting Parker in the right place at the right time. Parker followed the cries and came across the ravine Leah was stuck in. He took the rappel gear out of his backpack and climbed down to get her out. Back on the trail, he continued to carry her 1.5 miles to the nearest mountain hut. Leah and Parker both felt an instant connection, and the rest is history! ...Just kidding. We met on a dating app.
