Studying for the Bar Exam is a stressful time.
So it's not surprising that, when Vika and Adrienne met, they both had other things on their minds. Actually, that's not entirely true. Vika had noticed Adrienne on the first day of class and, like any good student, promptly sent an instant message pointing her out to a friend from law school, Matt George. As it turns out, Matt and Adrienne were good friends from college and he introduced the two of them after class.
It seemed she wasn't interested in meeting anyone, much less a guy. Nonetheless, Vika persisted. Ask him the story sometime. They started out at Chipotle, ended up seeing a movie together, and after that couldn't stop spending time with each other. This included studying together - and it paid off. Both passed the bar with nearly identical scores, but Adrienne will never let Vika forget that he scored one point lower than her.
As unexpected as their meeting was, it encapsulates perfectly the nature and progression of their relationship and love. They're a team. They challenge each other and learn together. They are (probably?) annoying to everyone other than themselves -- and they love it. Each makes the each other better and lifts the other up. Above all, they have fun together. Even when they're studying for the Bar.
Now full-fledged attorneys, they're excited to continue their lives together in Colorado. Adrienne, a Boulder Native, and Vika, a Texas Transplant, love living in Denver and can't get enough of everything Colorado has to offer. It's as active and inspiring as they strive to be. They can't wait for you to join them in Vail to celebrate their union and commitment to each other.
