Our Story

🍾 Our Big Day 🥂

On April 17th, 2025, Myles and Simonie eloped—just the two of them, no witnesses, no officiant—only God, high on Flagstaff Mountain in beautiful Boulder, Colorado.

The day before, they landed in Colorado and made their way to a cozy Airbnb tucked in the mountains. They had a Zoom call scheduled with the Clerk and Recorder’s office to get their marriage license, and once that wrapped up, the race was on to pick it up before 5 p.m. Myles navigated the curvy mountain roads in their old rental Subaru like a scene out of an action movie, and when they finally arrived, Simonie sprinted to the door—only to hear it click shut just as she got there. Thankfully, after banging on the door someone let her in just in time to grab the license!

That night, in true Myles and Simonie fashion, they decided to finally write their vows. Myles fell asleep mid-vow-writing—classic Myles—but Simonie finished hers. The next morning, they enjoyed yogurt parfaits and mimosas while reminiscing on their journey together. Myles finished his vows, then came getting ready—Simonie used up all the hot water, leaving Myles with an icy shower—but he survived.

They shared a sweet first look before heading up the mountain. Myles had bought his suit the weekend before, but somehow lost his tie, so a quick stop for a new one was in order—along with a Trader Joe’s cake and some baby’s breath flowers (since the bouquet Simonie made was accidentally left behind at the Airbnb).

Once they reached Flagstaff Mountain, they found the perfect, secluded spot just off the road. They read Bible verses, shared their vows, and promised forever to each other in the most peaceful, sacred setting. Afterward, they celebrated with sushi—where Simonie, true to form, got soy sauce on her dress—and then drove back as snow began to fall.

The next morning, they woke up to a stunning snowy mountain view, marking the start of their greatest adventure yet.

Relationship Timeline

First Date 💕

Myles picked up Simonie outside her dorm room in Crete, Nebraska—ready for their very first date. He claimed to have a plan, but once they got to Lincoln, it quickly became clear that Myles was winging it (classic Myles!).

They ended up grabbing Chick-fil-A for dinner and catching a horror movie at the theater. On the drive, they sang and danced to throwback hits, laughing the whole way. Somewhere between the music, the laughter, and their first kiss 😘, Simonie knew there was something special about Myles.

The Proposal 💍

Myles completely surprised Simonie. They were in the middle of moving when Myles mentioned that his dad wanted to go on a “cool little hike.” Simonie protested in her head—“Why today? We have so much to do!”—but eventually agreed to go along.

They missed the sunset by just a few minutes, but the city lights were twinkling below, creating the most magical view. As Simonie was taking it all in, Myles said, “I have a rock in my shoe.” When she turned around, he was down on one knee.

With a smile, he said, “I’m gonna keep this short and sweet. You make me better—my life better—and I want to spend forever with you. Simonie Ann Mendenhall, will you marry me?”

Simonie was so shocked and happy that neither of them could remember if she even said “yes,” but that didn’t stop Myles from slipping the ring onto her finger before she gave him the biggest kiss ever.  Simonie made sure not to cover her mouth like “all the girls do,” and the two of them celebrated by taking what they now lovingly call the ugliest photos ever—complete with Simonie’s bandaid still on her finger from moving earlier that day (and no you cannot see the pics😂).

It was imperfectly perfect—and absolutely them. ❤️

Simonie gave Myles his ring😎

One evening, Simonie and Myles drove out to Lake Pleasant for a little paddle boarding adventure—but by the time they arrived, the rental shop had already closed. Myles was ready to call it a night, but Simonie convinced him to stay, spread out a blanket, and watch the sunset together.

As they sat by the water, they started pointing out all the pretty rocks around them, saying “Ooh, look at this rock!” back and forth. Then, with her best smooth move ever, Simonie pulled out Myles’ ring and said, “Ooh, look at this rock.” 💍

They laughed, reflected on all the amazing things God had done in their lives and relationship, and felt overwhelming gratitude for the journey that brought them there. It was simple, spontaneous, and perfectly them.
