How did you two meet each other? We met in Fort Collins through a metal friend (My MOD- Hannah)
What was the best memory of your wedding day? The best memory of our wedding day was dancing the night away on the dance floor with our best friends and family. I don’t believe we left the dance floor until we had to! And the impromptu crowd surfing.
What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day? Our advice for future couples planning their special day is not to stress over the small stuff - you won’t even notice it! All that matters is you get to marry your best friend in front of all your people. I didn’t even notice our decorations - so that’s why the photos are so important! LOL.
Where did you go on your honeymoon? We went to Moorea and Bora Bora for our honeymoon. We enjoyed swimming with the Starks and stingrays and taking a cruise on the 4 wheeler around Moorea! Our honeymoon was a dream. We used Sharon Engle as our travel agent - she was amazing. I highly recommend using a travel agent to make the whole trip smooth and to not have to stress about the planning.
Denver Union Station Engagement Proposal | Jackie and Brian's Proposal
On Saturday March 12th (St. Patrick's Day Celebration Day in Denver) Brian surprised his girlfriend Jackie with one of their traditional monthly "day date's " together. They started the morning by getting coffee downtown Denver and then taking a walk through the new Union Station. On their way through making their way to the Millenium bridge and Confluence Park Brian got down on one knee and asked Jackie for her hand in marriage. After sharing some tears, laughs and hugs together they continued their walk through downtown and on their way to the second part of their date to Avanti. It was here at Avanti where the full extent of Brian's planning came to fruition. Waiting at Avanti to surprise Jackie was her entire family as well as her girlfriends who flew in from Guadalajara, Mexico and Chicago, IL respectively. Needless to say Jackie was definitely surprised and the smile never left her face the rest of the afternoon. It truly was a special day and I was honored to be able to watch it unfold and capture it for them. Congratulations Jackie and Brian!

How did you two meet? We met at the Front Porch, a bar on 15th and Lawrence downtown. It was a Tuesday night. I had just been to a show at Comedy Works with some friends, and Kevin was meeting his friend Gary for a drink. I am a pretty outgoing person, so I saw a good-looking guy and decided to talk to him. Kevin had often told his friends that the girl he would marry would be one who would buy him a drink, which I did that night.
What is the best memory from your wedding day? That whole day was awesome! I loved our entrance into the reception, down those cool stairs at the Cable Center. We really liked the cake cutting, since we decided not to announce it; it was just a moment with the two of us and not a bunch of people watching. Our dance floor was hopping right away and never really died down throughout the night.
Do you have any advice for future couples? Make your weeding your own. If something is important to you but isn't traditional, do it anyway. If something is traditional but you don't find it meaningful, skip it. You're never going to 100% please all of your guests, so make yourself happy and you won't have any regrets. Also, if you have many guests coming in from out of town, add an extra event. Your wedding day is action-packed, and it can be difficult to spend time with all of your guests. Something extra the day before or the day after mean more time with the people who want to celebrate you. We had a field day on Friday afternoon in Ruby Hill Park where we played semi-competitive games and brought in Biker Jim's food truck. It was great opportunity for us to spend more time with friends and family, plus our guests had a chance to mingle, which I think helped open up the dance floor at the reception. Also, after the rehearsal dinner, we told all of our guests that we would be at a local bar. It was really relaxed and relaxing. We even got the bar to extend their happy hour deals to our guests. The field day was pretty low-cost and the rehearsal afterparty was free, and they both provided great chances for us to see our loved ones and for friends and family to come together.
Where did you go on your honeymoon? What activities did you do while there? we spent 9 days in Dubrovnik, Croatia and 3 days in Paris. We stayed in apartments that we found on AirBnB. We loved Croatia! Everyone was so friendly; they were excited to have us there and wanted to tell us all about their city and their country. There were lovely beaches, lots of delicious seafood, and sunshine every day. While in Croatia, we took a day trip to Montenegro, which is about a 45 minute drive south, and a day trip to 3 of the Elaphite Islands. Our favorite restaurant was the Taj Mahal, which serves traditional Bosnian food. In Paris, we saw a lot of the tourist spots: Notre Dame, Sacre Couer, Saint Chapelle, the Eiffel Tower at sunset, the Arc de Triomphe, a night biking tour with a company called Fat Tire Tours (not connected with the beer, unfortunately), and a walking street art tour with Underground Paris. Croatia was amazing in pretty much every way and we highly recommend it. Paris is a charming, beautiful city, but definitely less friendly than Dubrovnik.

How did you two meet each other? Dustin and I first met at the University of Colorado Boulder through my college sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta. He was working as a hasher (they basically helped the house chef cook, prepare food, wash dishes, and clean up around the sorority house on an everyday basis). A couple of failed first date attempts, study sessions and CU Night Rides later, we reconnected right before Dustin graduated from CU and right as I left for my summer abroad in Italy. Obviously, our timing couldn't have been more perfect. As he spent the summer preparing for pilot training in Oklahoma, and as I travelled around Europe, we stayed in touch and talked every single day (thank you modern technology!) After nearly three months of correspondence, we decided to turn our friendship into a long-distance relationship. I like to think of us as the "long-distance success story" because we have never lived in the same city while dating. The rest, they say, is history!
What was the best memory of your wedding day? Hannah - While I can honestly say I can't pick ONE best memory from the day (because it was absolutely perfect), there are two distinct memories from the wedding that I will most definitely cherish forever. The first was a moment right before our first look - I was standing inside the venue and could see Dustin standing up on the hill outside, with his hand in his pocket. A very typical stance for him. For a moment time stood completely still, and as I walked closer and closer I felt as if everything was happening in slow motion and that after years of dating and months of planning, we had finally reached the most important moment in our lives. It was surreal. Being able to see each other for the ceremony was one of the best decisions, because it took so much pressure off! The second was a moment right before the ceremony. Since my dad's passing, my younger brother knew that when my wedding day arrived he would have some very tough shoes to fill. The two of us stayed together as the rest of the bridal party prepared for the processional. To have such a moment, just my brother and I before he walked me down the aisle, is irreplaceable. His laughter, comedic tendencies, and calm demeanor were one of the only reasons I could keep my composure throughout the ceremony! Not only that, but we KILLED IT on the dance floor during our brother/sister dance to Bruno Mars' "Uptown Funk" and the crowd loved it!
