Bruce reads his vows to Allison in the middle of Alderfer/Three Sisters Park in Evergreen, Colorado. Occasionally a bird would chirp and the leaves would rustle as the wind blew through, but other than that the world around them was silent.
Allison and Bruce decided they wanted to have a private ceremony, just the two of them, in addition to their May wedding celebration at the Grant-Humphreys Mansion in Denver, CO. We thought this was a great idea to have the best of both worlds: the private intimacy of a personal ceremony as well as the fun that comes with a big celebration. Little did they know that their May wedding would end up canceled due to the global pandemic.
They planned to elope on Groundhog Day at Alderfer/Three Sisters Park. It was unseasonably warm for February and we don’t think they could have asked for more beautiful weather. In fact, they really lucked out because a snowstorm followed literally the next day. That’s Colorado for ya!
When she was ready, Allison walked across the open field toward Bruce, beaming with excitement. They shared an intimate and emotional moment together by the barn before we took off toward the opposite end of the park. Allison and Bruce walked hand-in-hand and were all smiles. This day was only about the two of them and they couldn’t be more excited about it.
Allison led the way as we ventured into the woods, looking for the best spot for them to exchange their vows. They settled on a scenic setting in the woods surrounded by towering evergreens in front of large boulders. The excitement was mounting as they stood close together and pulled out their vows. Allison went first, speaking in nearly a whisper. They laughed, they cried and they poured their hearts out to each other. Occasionally a bird would chirp and the leaves would rustle as the wind blew through, but other than that the world around them was silent. They reached for their rings and slid them on each other's finger and with that, they both cheered, completely elated!
