TJ has been saying how he’ll need to practice getting used to wearing a wedding band before the big day rolls around. After some disturbing research on “de-gloving” he decided that a metal ring simply doesn’t fit with our adventurous lifestyle. Thankfully, there are a ton of great silicon ring options out there these days, like these awesome rings from @bondwell . They are made from high quality silicone, super affordable, look cool, AND they donate a percentage of their proceeds to fund counseling for couples in need. How cool is that!? . They’re perfect for outdoor adventures like canoeing (what we’re doing here) and other activities where a metal ring might get damaged, or worse, damage you if it gets caught on something… Seriously, go look up de-gloving if you want to be scared for life. . Happy adventures y’all!

We drive to the places that look cool, walk down streets that stand out, and head wherever our hearts take us, but each turn is unplanned. . Not every decision turns out to be the best, but some days you end up on top of the world staring off into the distance knowing that you wouldn't have it any other way. . We may not know what's in store each day, but that's what makes it magical.

When we started dating 11.5 years ago (#highschoolsweethearts) Alli loved being outside but wasn't the biggest climber, and definitely not a risk taker when it came to doing extreme adventurous things. . Fast forward to today and we've collectively visited 6 continents, more countries than we are years old, and have had fun canyoneering in the Philippines, trekking in Nepal, ziplining through the Laotian jungle, and exploring our back yard in the states. . This epic shoot was taken after ignoring the trail and climbing up the 300ft rock face above Kangaroo Lake. There's no one I'd rather adventure with, and she sure has stretched her comfort zone!
