How did you two meet?
Tyler and I were set up on a blind date by a friend who work's with my mom. Tyler, my mom, and the woman who played match maker (Liz) all worked for the same company. Tyler worked closely with my mom's friend Liz. Liz one day asked Tyler if he was single and he said he was and she told him he should meet her friend's daughter. Neither Tyler or I were too thrilled about a blind date but after a little convincing we committed. Tyler took me to Vesta Dipping Grill for our first date and the rest is history.
What is the Best Memory of our wedding day?
When we got to walk into the wedding reception to Pour Some Sugar on Me. We were married and we could finally enjoy all of our hard work and be with our closest family and friends.
Do you have any advice for future couples?
Some advice we would give to couples on their wedding day would be to not stress and whatever happens, happens and it will all be ok. At the end of the day you get to marry to love of your life and your best friend and that is what matters. All of the little things in between and along the way are what make the memories of the day.
Where did you go on your honeymoon?
For our honeymoon we went to Sandals in Grenada. We would definitely recommend it. We did a lot of relaxing on the beach which is just what we wanted/needed.
Kristen + Matt's Ralston Crossing, Arvada Wedding {Denver Colorado Wedding Photographer, Ralston Crossing Wedding Photographer}
{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!
