{Ashley} Kristen and I met through work and has been a great friend of ours for about 5 years. After she listened to all my wedding plans last year and helped coordinate our big day in Alabama and even caught the bouquet at our wedding, I knew her day would be nothing short of magical.
Matt and Kristen met through work, although Matt was based in Minnesota... a long way from Denver. They pursued a long distance relationship for about a year before Matt decided to pack up and move across the country. His love of the outdoors is why he said he moved to Colorado but we all knew it was really a cute brunette aka Kristen:)
Matt planned the perfect engagement in New York City over the holidays last year. He proposed near one of the fountains that you see in the movies. I'm sure it was Kristen's fairytale engagement, which she definitely deserved. And I must say, Matt did a great job picking out her ring:)
Kristen and Matt held their ceremony and reception at Ralston's Crossing in Arvada in June on the most perfect day of the year far. They couldn't have asked for better weather. I'm positive it was God shining down on them and their vow to one another. They had all the details covered from her gorgeous lace vintage inspired gown, to her amazing updo (thanks to her fantastic hair stylist, Amy Cabrera, MOH and sister of the bride). Her shoes were Tom's, a Colorado classic:), her garter was handmade and truly unique. Matt looked handsome as well in his 3 piece suit and his new watch, courtesy of Kristen. Their ceremony and reception were simply gorgeous and with every look at the groom, you could tell he was in awe of his new bride.
We wish Kristen and Matt many many years of love and blessings and look forward to many gatherings at their new home in the near future...hint, hint:) Thank you to Matt, Kristen, Judy and Dean for allowing us to be a part of this amazing day!
