6 Sep, 2019The story of our wedding
My husband Beau and I have been in love with the mountains since the very beginning of our relationship. Growing up in Colorado we were big skiiers and we loved being outdoors. We knew that when we got married, the Rocky Mountains would be the place for us. I have always loved wedding planning so I planned every detail, crafted every decoration, and thought about everything we could ever think of. That is, everything but the weather. We had been watching the weather for the week leading up to the party. It definitely said rain but Colorado is notorious for saying it will rain when really it is beautiful. We figured this is what would happen. We were wrong though and there was the most rain there has ever been, all summer. There ended up being a huge rock slide and hail storm on the highway shutting everything down and trapping people on the highway. This also included our caterer who was coming up the highway with all our food. Our wedding planner jumped into action and called every restaurant in the arrea including a local pizza place who agreed to shut down to feed us all. Although we were very upset about the food not making it, we were pleasantly surprised to see our guests were thrilled to get pizza and couldn't stop talking about how great it was! We had everyone chanting best pizza party ever on the dance floor! The best part was there were two breaks in the weather: one for our first look and one for ceremony. We feel incredibly lucky that we got everything we wanted out of our big day and even more! Our thank you notes said "thank you for coming to our pizza party".
