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.

How did you meet each other?

At a house party. He challenged me to a game of beer pong and the rest is history.

What was the best memory of your wedding day?

I think for both of us; it was watching our two boys, so handsome in their suits, walk down the aisle.

What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day?

Hire a great photographer and videographer!  You'll hear it a million times but the day does truly fly by. It was over in a blink of an eye so anyway to document everything is worth every penny. There were things I didn't get to see or missed because we were so busy so I'm glad we have Drake so I can relive all the details again. (I didn't tell Cassie to say this ;)

Where did you go on your honeymoon? 

We had grand plans of a Mexico vacation but my husband changed jobs right before our wedding so those plans are on hold for a bit. We'll get around to the honeymoon but it may be more of an first anniversary trip.

Vilolin, chelo, and piano were the parkers, and the preacher was Jason Parker, the parkers are very special family to us they had been our neighbors until last January.

Notes from the Bride: The dress was bought at something new boutique which was the opposite kind of dress i was looking for initially. I had been searching for a lace mermaid type of dress and i fell in love with a satin big a line frame embedded with tons of Swarovski crystals. The dress was one of a kind the designer hand carried it to the store it the first one he had made like that. I found shoes that also had Swarovski crystals that matched the dress online.  Then when i first saw it I thought it was over the top but when the lady at something new boutique place it on top of my head it really complemented the dress, the tiara was also make of Swarovski crystals.I felt like a Disney princess.  During the wedding I hand carried a handkerchief that had belonged to Randys great-grandmother, after the ceremony Shelly (Randys Sister), handed me Randys grandmother (Betty Magnuson) bible that she had carried in her wedding.  Inside that bible i had a necklace that my biological father (which he passed away when i was 3) had given to my mother and my mother wore that gold necklace during their wedding.

How did you two meet?

Randy and I met each other in El Paso, TX I was there going to Nursing school and Randy had been stationed there TDY he had just came back from a deployment in Iraq. We actually met in a karaoke bar lol. Randy and I had instant attraction toward each other and we started dating in Texas when I graduated he moved me out here in Colorado.

Do you have any advice for future couples?

The piece of advice I would give other couple is to give yourself time to plan for the wedding, book everything ahead of time, florist, DJ, venue, Baker, etc. Plan everything with time and once the actual day arrives just enjoy it, don’t stress about the small stuff enjoy that day to its fullest because it goes by so fast! and if you spend it irritated about some small little detail not being perfect you are gonna miss the big picture!

What was your favorite memory from your wedding day?

Walking up to the altar being escorted by my Uncle Chencho which means the world to me. Then seeing Randy at the altar melted my heart he looked so handsome up there with his suit.

Where did you go for your honeymoon?

The night of the wedding we spent it at the Broadmoor the next day we went home, we still had family from Spain and Idaho staying for a couple of more days. So we are planning in going to a honeymoon next year. We are are not sure yet where though lol! one of the options is Spain so we can also visit my family. So i recommend to anyone if they don’t have the time to go in a honey moon right away the Broadmoor hotel,  it was so elegant they had a bottle of champagne in the room waiting for us and the next day we had a breakfast brunch in their 1st floor an we took a walk around their lake afterwards.

What was the best memory from your wedding day?

The best memory of the day from Tom was seeing Brittany walk down the aisle in her dress. The best memory of our wedding day from Brittany was the reception and seeing everyone from around the United States (literally) there to celebrate her and Tom. It was so special knowing people traveled to be part of our day!

What is some advice you would give to future couples?

Some advice would be...to elope! kidding! Take help from any friends or family you can in the process. Don't worry about the small details, and realize seeing something on Pinterest is not always as simple as it looks!

Where did you go on your honeymoon?

We went to Isla Mujeres in Mexico and stayed at the Palace with all-inclusive near the beach. Was perfect after a wedding, didn't have to think about a thing and so relaxing! We enjoyed  snorkeling and a massage on the pier. Amazing!!

We met at the University of Iowa in finance class. Eric broke Alison's calculator and she missed every problem on their homework that week. Eventually Eric made it up to Alison when they went out for ice cream and then putt putt. Then they moved to Denver and lived happily ever after.

What was the best memory of your wedding day?

Being able to WALK down the isle was extra special after health challenges this year.  We were overwhelmed by all the love and support of our family and friends that came to celebrate with us. We both felt so calm all day and really kept the focus on the true meaning of why we were all there, to celebrate love.

Do you have any advice for future couples?

Focus on your top 3 important details of the day (spend the budget on that). Delegate delegate delegate, other people are happy to help and feel involved, it shouldn't be micromanaged/a burden for the bride and groom. Write a ceremony that's unique and meaningful to you the couple. Let your guests in on that intimate piece.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?

We went to Lanai Hawaii and stayed at the Four Seasons Manele Bay. It was perfect. Very relaxing and low key, super small island.  Lots of golf, champagne, pool time, dolphin watching, sunset cruises, and quality time together. Would definitely recommend.
