How did you two meet? We met at Cru Wine Bar when we were both out for a mutual friend's birthday party. We talked for most of the night and Matt sent Elizabeth a Facebook message the next day. Our first date was 5 days later and we've been together ever since :)

What is the best memory of your wedding day? It rained right before the start time of our outdoor Fall wedding. Decor was blowing over and guests were pulling out umbrellas. We just knew that everything would work out and almost as soon as Elizabeth walked out of the bridal cottage to head down the aisle, the sky seemed to clear and a rainbow appeared. We spotted the rainbow at the same time and it was a beautiful sign on our amazing day!

What is some advice you would give to other couples as they plan their wedding day? Let other people help you out when they offer and just try to take every detail of the day in. Having talented photographers (Drake Busch) and videographers is so important too. That is how you can relive your beautiful event. Where did you go on your honeymoon? We stopped in Iceland for 3 days on our way to Venice, Italy for a 7 day Mediterranean Cruise. Our cruise ports were in Croatia, Turkey and Greece. We would highly recommend a cruise to any honeymooners! It was so nice to experience multiple countries and be able to leave our bags in one spot for a week. A couple of highlights were riding dune buggies on the Croatian cliffs and experiencing the picturesque beauty of Santorini, Greece. We also stopped for a day and night in Paris on the way home. What an amazing 2 weeks!

How did you two meet each other? One of my friends from college went to high school with Natalie's sister Andrea. We met at a trivia night at Jack Quinn's pub downtown.

What was the best memory of your wedding day? There were a could of really memorable parts for me. Seeing Natalie come down the aisle was at the top! But I also will never forgot our first dance or when you fell jumping off that ledge trying to get pictures for us!

What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day? Just enjoy it! It's such a fun experience. Try to get everything settled early and then just relax and enjoy the day!

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?   For our wedding night, we stayed at the Cliff House in Manitou Springs! It was very nice, the staff upgraded our room free of charge! The next morning we dove to Telluride, CO, where we stayed for 5 nights! Neither of us had ever been there so it was a lot of fun! It's a beautiful area and very unique! We stayed at a resort (I can't remember the name of the top of my head) in Mountain Village, which is just above Telluride. We both got a little sick over the course of the week, but we still had a ton of fun hiking and exploring the town. It's a beautiful place, so even just looking out the window is a sight you don't see every day and can enjoy! I would highly recommend it!

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.

Denver Colorado Backyard Wedding | Kelly and Jason's Wedding

Venue- Mother and Father in-laws yardFlorist- Mossholder's (Arvada, CO) Cake and cupcakes- Mulberries cake Shop ( Denver) Food- Moe's BBQ Wedding dress from the Bridal Collection in Greenwood Village- Dress designer Sottero and Midgley Photography - Drake Busch Photography (Drake & Ashley Busch)

How did you two meet? We met online on Match.com. We both had only gone a date or 2 prior and were done with online dating. I winked at him ( first time I had done that) and the rest was history! Crazy that we lived 3 blocks from each other, went to the same neighborhood bars and never, to our knowledge, saw or meet each other. I think I would have noticed a guy who was 6'7"

What is your favorite memory from your wedding day? My best memory of the day was hearing Jason's wedding vows. I didn't know what to expect, they were perfect! My second favorite memory was looking out from the second floor window down into the yard where everyone was gathered for the ceremony! It was so surreal.

What advice would you give to future couples? My advice to future brides it makes it reflect both of your personalities! My husband and I knew we didn't want anything fancy, so a backyard BBQ with campfires was perfect! I only thing I would not do again is wear a lace and toole wedding dress in the mulch.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?  What activities did you do there? We went to Los Cabos San Lucas, Mexico for our Honeymoon. We stayed at the Rui Palace which is amazing! I highly recommend it. We took a boat to the arches and lover's beach for snorkeling. We also took a stroll downtown to see the shops and marina! Jason surprised me with wine and dinner at Sunset De Monalisa. It is an amazing restaurant overlooking the ocean and sunset, it was ranked 1 of the 5 coolest restaurants in the world by the New York Times. It is a very romantic setting with stunning

How did you two  meet each other?

I had just moved to Colorado Springs to go to college and got a job at the same pizza place as Anthony. A coworker mentioned to Anthony to get a look at the new hire up front and he was hooked from the moment he saw me. We were friends for about a year until we both decided that our relationship needed to move beyond friendship. We had our first date at Lime in downtown Denver, and the rest is history.

What was your favorite memory from your wedding day?

Anthony's favorite part was the drunken dancing. Some of our friends and family know how to party!

My favorite part was the first look. To have that moment, just the two of us before the ceremony, was beyond special. It will be a moment I never forget.

Do you have any advice for future couples?

Don't be cray. The details are important, but don't forget that the day is about the two of you. And don't forget to have fun! Planning can get very stressful and overwhelming, so be there for each other and have some fun with it.

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

We went to Kauai and stayed at the Westin Princeville (thanks to our awesome family!) We loved sightseeing and just stopping wherever we wanted along the road. Our favorite part was hanging out in Hanalei and eating at Bubba's Burgers pretty much every day. Of course we went to a lu'au and stuffed our faces with kalua pork. Oh, and Wailua shave ice. Can't live without shave ice! Pretty much anything that had food or Mai Tai's, we were there.
