What was the best memory of your wedding day? Seeing everyone we love most in one place laughing, celebrating and supporting us. Pretty darn cool. I will never forget the pure love and happiness I felt all throughout the ceremony and reception!
What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day?
Hire a day of coordinator. Take everything one step at a time and take it all in- it goes by fast!
Where did you go on your honeymoon?
Well... we still need to plan one! Hoping to get to Mexico in the early new year :) So I guess this is some more advice - make sure to plan a honeymoon!

How did you meet each other?
In college through mutual friends but we didn't start dating until years later when we met again at a bar.
What was the best memory of your wedding day?
Mike-Taking pictures at Poppies after the wedding. Ana- Walking down the aisle at the church and seeing Mike for the first time. Also dancing with everyone at the wedding-best day of my life.
What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day? Figure out the venue, food, drinks, flowers, dj and photographer immediately. All the small details will fall in place and everything was fairly low stress for us.
We also had time between the wedding and reception during that time we took all the pictures which was so great because got to enjoy cocktail hour with all of our guests.
Where did you go on your honeymoon? Where did you stay and what were a couple activities you enjoyed. Would you recommend to other couples? If you used a travel agent and liked them please note that.
Going in January 2016. Rivera Maya, Mexico. Staying at the Valentin.

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.
Colorado History Museum Wedding | Amy and Ben's Downtown Denver Wedding
Venue: History ColoradoFlorist: Banister’s Flowers (Rosie is wonderful!!!) DJ: Quality Mobile Sound Dress: The Bridal Collection Tuxes: Men’s Warehouse Cake: Azucar Bakery Make-up: Cynthia Goodberry, Denver Make-Up Guru Venue Coordinator: Melissa Cordova, History Colorado Day of Wedding Coordinator: Alex Hatch, Mark Christopher Weddings Photographer: Drake Busch Photography (Drake + Ashley Busch)
How did you meet each other? We met on the front porch of a friend’s house one summer night in Denver. The rest is history.
What was the best memory of your wedding day? It’s so hard to choose but one of our favorite memories is just after the ceremony, we had everyone who attended come together for a photo on the church steps. It was an amazing feeling to be surrounded by all our favorite people at such a happy moment in our lives.
What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day? Make a decision and stick with it! There are so many choices for anything and everything related to a wedding, it was overwhelming. Just try not to overthink it, it all comes together in the end. That said, hiring a day of wedding coordinator (specifically Alex Hatch) helps a lot too! She helped make our day truly great.
Where did you go on your honeymoon? Where did you stay and what were a couple activities you enjoyed. Would you recommend to other couples? After the wedding, we took a few days for a staycation in Denver. It was nice to enjoy time together, unwind, and indulge in leftover cake. Next month we head to Costa Rica and Panama to relax on the beach and hike through the rainforest!
Golden Hotel Wedding | Campbell + Hoover's Golden Colorado Wedding Day
Venue: The Golden HotelVenue coordinator: Sandi McCormick - she is INCREDIBLE!!! Heart of gold, lots of experience and just down right sweet. She is actually the director of sales at the Golden Hotel; we were just lucky enough that they were in between coordinators that we got blessed with Sandi. :-) Kim, who took over for the previous coordinator, was just fabulous too!
Florist: Stems - I cried when I saw my bouquet, literally. I am not really even a girly-girl, but with all of the emotions and how beautiful the flowers were, I actually cried. I am sort of embarrassed to admit that, but Dore (pronounced door-y), the owner, is magnificent!!
Desert/Cake: No cake, we did a s'mores bar instead!
Music: Jerry & Joy - they were so great for our ceremony, and we received so many compliments like "I can't believe they are only a duo!" from multiple people. They were so much fun!
Boots: Cowgirl boots from Cheyenne Frontier Days
Jewelry: Mom and grandma's pearls - loved having them with me on such a special day!!
Photography: Drake Busch Photography (Drake & Dawn Sparks)
How did you meet each other?
Bride: RA class in undergrad - I had a crush on him, he was dating someone else...we reconnected after college, and apparently that went well!! ;-)
Groom: RA class at Ball State. Then we worked together throughout the next school year and I longingly gazed at you during staff meetings.
What was the best memory of your wedding day?
Bride: Apparently we had a woman with a shirt that read "Flawless" come to the cocktail reception while we were out taking post-ceremony pictures. They knew she wasn't a guest when she told one of our friends that she knew one of the groomsmen...and we didn't have any, haha!
My favorite memories were seeing Hoov at the end of the aisle (and see friends and family as I walked down, too!), saying our vows that we had written ourselves, spending the day getting ready and laughing with my mom, sisters and nieces and President Obama making an appearance on the dance floor!
Groom: Best memory for me: Seeing Campbell walk down the aisle. Second best memory - hearing about our "flawless" wedding crasher.
What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day?
Bride: Don't get so overwhelmed with the outpouring of love and support from family and friends! I had a really hard time with this one, and in the end you just have to own up to the fact that there are A LOT of people who want to help because they love you...it's a great "problem" to have, so allow others to help you.
Groom: Make sure your future spouse is an event planner? Or, really, I would say not to stress about the small things. At the end of the day, you'll be married and all of the little details will fall into place as they should. Stressing about them won't help. Have a drink (or four) and relax.
Where did you go on your honeymoon? Where did you stay and what were a couple activities you enjoyed. Would you recommend to other couples?
Groom: Cabo San Lucas, MX at the Pueblo Bonito at Sunset Beach. The activity that I most enjoyed was renting the scooter and cruising around town. Also, going out on the boat to go snorkeling was fun. The only way that I would recommend this to other couples is if they want a vacation that is focused on relaxing at the resort. Beach options are limited there and it's very touristy. Also, if a person wants raucous nightlife, it would be a fun place. However, I'm not sure I know many couples that want that for their honeymoon....so I'm not really sure I'd recommend this destination.
Bride: I completely agree with Aaron on this one - Cabo is not a small Mexican town for surfing and meditation. It is PARTY TOWN!!! We didn't know that going into it, but we still enjoyed ourselves! I loved riding the local transportation and figuring our way around town. Having Hoover show up to the resort on an extremely battered scooter was hilarious, too! The staff loved it, haha.

What was your favorite memory of your wedding day? Reciting our vows to each other. I’m so glad we chose to write our own vows, it made the ceremony so much more heartfelt and meaningful. They are words we will never forget. Second best memory was dancing with all of our family and friends… Marc’s best memory might be doing the Dougie twice followed by the vows ;)
Do you have any advice for future couples? Give yourself enough time, ask for help when you need it, remember why you’re doing all that planning.
Where did you go on your honeymoon? We didn’t go on our honeymoon yet but we will go when Marc is done with flight school. We’re planning on St. Lucia!
