Dylan and Kaitlyn’s love for adventure led them both to work at a “small” camping co-op in Santa Monica known as REI. Dylan was the operational mastermind on the first floor while Kaitlyn was the expert of all things footwear on the second floor. The two of them rarely interacted, but when Covid-19 hit, REI employees everywhere were desperate to go outside as soon as it was safe to do so. It was at this time that Dylan invited Kaitlyn to join him and his roommates on a camping trip to Sequoia National Park. It did not take long for the two of them to realize their affection for one another. Among the world’s largest trees, Dylan and Kaitlyn fell in love.

Fast forward a few years to the couple on vacation in one of their favorite locations: Seattle, Washington. Dylan and Kaitlyn spent the week hiking mountains, exploring the city, and drinking LOTS of coffee and beer. The final days of the trip were spent exploring Olympic National Park. It was there that Dylan got down on one knee and asked Kaitlyn to be his wife. That afternoon on a hiking trail in the Hoh Rain Forest, Kaitlyn was overjoyed to say YES!

Dylan and Kaitlyn have shared several adventures together and are so excited to share this one with the people who have been part of their amazing journey. Please join them in Fall 2025 as they say “I do” and kick off the next phase of life together.
