Kevin and Emily held a small, simple wedding a few weeks ago with approximately 30 guests. They had originally planned to have their ceremony at O’Fallon Park in Denver, but when they arrived, there was about 100 people gathered there for a family reunion. Unfortunately, there isn’t a reservation process for some parks so this was just a first come, first serve park. I was driving up toward O’Fallon Park when Emily called to tell me that it wasn’t going to work out to meet there. I helped them try and make Lair O’ the Bear park work, but we were told by a park ranger that they couldn’t have more than 20 people gathered for an event. So, we ended up driving down to Morrison Park where her 30 guest set up folding chairs and flowers. The ceremony was short and sweet and beautiful. It included a family sand ceremony where each of them poured in a different color sand.
Kevin and Emily did their first look and family photos at Lair O’ the Bear before we went to Morrison Park. It sprinkled on and off during photos, but I had a clear umbrella for them to use and then the sky cleared off. Emily’s three daughters were her bridesmaids and Kevin’s son was his best man. The blue dresses and white flowers really popped against the green Colorado foothills. It was a lovely wedding!
