You Wear White and I'll Wear Out the Words "I Love You!"

At the end of June, we had the pleasure of taking part in a beautiful wedding for a wonderful couple!  We discovered that the couple first met at a CSU football game.  The groom had his dog with him and when the bride went to pet the dog, they couple met and immediately hit it off!  They actually had the dog in the wedding since he was the whole reason they met in the first place!  How fun to have a family pet in your wedding party!

Each table was set with beautiful blue napkins and gorgeous centerpieces.  At each place setting, the couple had a little booklet typed up with details about themselves and about the night ahead for the guests to refer to.  One of the most exciting parts for us to see in these booklets was the couple's proposal story!  The groom played the song "Marry Me" by Train as they drove back to her house.  She didn't really think anything of it until they reached the front steps of the house.  Her mom had set out a little blue pillow for him and he knelt down on it and proposed right there on the steps!  She, of course, said yes and the rest, as they say, is history!




The couple also wrote about how their favorite number was 11 and why it was significant to them!  This significance ranged from the date of their wedding adding up to 11 (2+9=11), the number of letters in their last names combined equaled 11, their birthdays were 11 days apart, and many other coincidences involving that number!  It was fun for the guests to read those booklets and learn more about the couple.

They also had a wishing tree for guests to leave them a note about how to succeed in their first year of marriage, and for the years to come.  This was a fun, different way to do a guest book and to have nice wishes from their guests that they could treasure forever!  They even brought in a little tree for their guests to hang their wishes on!  Look how cute it looked in their colors and it even lights up!  They also incorporated those same blues into their cake and cake table as well, tying their decor together so nicely.


We wish this couple all the best as they (and their dog!) embark on a wonderful journey together!  We loved being a part of this beautiful wedding and learning about their story as the guests did!  Congratulations to the both of you!
