How did you meet? We met in high school through band and swim team, but didn't really get to know each other until we reconnected seven years later. While I was in school at the University of Wyoming and Ryan was finishing up school at CSU, he offered to help me with statistical analysis for a paper, and I knew he was a keeper.

What was your favorite memory from your wedding day? Seeing each other during our first look :)

Do you have any advice for future couples? Delegate as much as possible, and try not to get hung up on the details; it's usually not worth it. The big picture is what's important.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?  We're still planning the honeymoon, but in the Spring we will be going some place warm and with a beach.

How did you meet each other? AJ and I met through our friends Shane and KP, who were our best man and matron of honor. We first met at bingo. I remember that AJ made me laugh throughout the whole evening. We then saw each other several times while KP and Shane were planning their own wedding. Then at their wedding AJ made his move and it's been history ever since.

What was your favorite memory from your wedding day? The moment of the first look was very special. I loved seeing the look on AJ's face when he saw me in my dress the first time. My favorite fun moment was dancing with my brother and cousins as we busted out some old school favorite moves. Especially when my brother treated us to his white boy dance! AJ's favorite moment was our first dance. AJ picked out our song that he wanted us to waltz to. It was Jason Mraz's I Won't Give Up. So we took a dance lesson and we managed to waltz at least halfway through the song!

Do you have any advice for future couples? My best piece of advice would be for each of you to pick one thing that is really important to you, whether it be the food, the cake, the dress etc, and spend a little more money in that area. Everything else you can skimp a little. 

Where did you go on your honeymoon? What activities did you do? We first spent a few days at the Highland Haven Creekside Inn in their Tree House Suite. We enjoyed exploring the local area including a scenic drive to Aspen. We then headed to the Caribbean for a week long cruise stopping at Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Jamaica.  Our favorite activity was swimming with the stingrays at Grand Cayman's Stingray City.

How did you meet each other? Nick was looking for a place to live and answered an ad for a room for rent where Christina was living. The first time Nick and Christina met each other was when he went to look at the place. Christina was smitten, and obviously things worked out!

What was the best memory of your wedding day? Nick's best memory is their first dance, to "The Night is Young and You're So Beautiful", from the movie, Robin Hood Men in Tights. Christina's best memory is her Dad walking her down the aisle, with Nick waiting for her at the altar.

What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day? Elope! Just kidding, try to enjoy the planning because it goes by quickly. Don't worry about the details on your wedding day. What's most important is the two of you, surrounded by your family and friends.

Where did you go on your honeymoon? We're still planning the honeymoon, and we look forward to relaxing on a warm beach this spring to escape the Colorado winter.

How did you meet each other?

We met as biology lab partners in high school, and rekindled a friendship when we took a bunch of Spanish classes together in college, but we didn't start dating until we were both out of college and living and teaching in Colorado Springs.

What was your favorite memory from your wedding day?

We didn't do a first look, so seeing each other for the first time at the altar was a wonderful and emotional moment.

Do you have any advice for future couples?

Remember that this day is about making a lifelong commitment to each other, and even if something "goes wrong" or doesn't work out as you planned, it won't be a big deal on the day. You will be so happy and so excited that you probably won't care about that one little detail. Enjoy the day, and try to take it all in. And make sure you put someone responsible in charge of keeping track of all the groomsmen's clothes so you aren't searching for pants 20 minutes before the ceremony.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?  What activities did you do?

We began our honeymoon in Newport, Rhode Island at the Castle Hill Inn for a couple nights, and then visited Plymouth, Concord, Boston, and Salem, Massachusetts. We relaxed, rode bikes along the cliffside, golfed twice, enjoyed local 'chowda,' lobster, and other treats at great local restaurants, enjoyed a harbor cruise in Salem, visited Orchard House, Walden Pond, and Author's Row, and had a wonderful time. We loved having a non-traditional honeymoon, and we think that a New England honeymoon in the fall was just delightful. The weather was perfectly cool, so we could enjoy spending time in a cozy hotel room with the fire burning in the fireplace, and it was pleasant to walk around town to see the sights.
