Desiree and Jamie tied the knot on a beautiful spring Colorado Day. I say that with every bit of excitement because 1. It was warmly snowing. Yes, this is a distinction because the snow fell softly and was so dreamy, yet it was not terrible to be outside. 2. Desiree and Jamie are AWESOME. They are the real deal folks and if you see it even a little bit in the photos then magnify it by 10 and you will realize what it is like to be around them.
We started off the day easy and happy. Everyone gathered at the beautiful Villa Parker for hair and makeup and all sorts of pampering. I was welcomed by two adorable flower girls who were ready to take their job seriously. As I entered the room you could feel the vibrancy of everyone have a great time. They were all so excited to be there and celebrate.
Jamie strolled in with thumbs up and a giant smile on her face. Between Ali hanging out with Jamie and me with Desiree we were in fierce debate about who was having more fun. The day just followed suit. As soon as they saw each other they lit up more than I thought was even possible. One of my favorite moments of the day was when they exchanged gifts after seeing each other for the first time and Jamie gave Desiree a booklet of love letters from all the people she loved. It was so fun to see the joy in Jamie’s eyes to give something that she knew Desiree would cherish.
The rest of the day followed suit. They were so fun to be around an their wedding party was just that, a party. They were laughing and messing around and having the best time. They didn’t even mind being out in the snow for these too. Their little boy Colton was just as excited to be around everyone. He is a little ham himself. He was so fun to see celebrate a love he has known all his life. Plus when he put on those sunglasses! Oh gosh, so cute.
They laughed, they cried and they DANCED. The night was filled with sweet and meaningful speeches and an awesome dance party. Led by an amazing 3 piece band, everyone, even grandma, was on the dance floor. Needless to say, they really know how to celebrate.
Ali and I left the wedding feeling like love like this, people like Desiree and Jamie and all their amazing friends and family are the reason we love and do what we do. Congratulations Desiree and Jamie on 10 years of love together and an incredible marriage!
A very big thanks to all the incredible vendors!
