In a land of your dreams there are weddings that run perfectly smoothly and you have tons of time to slow down, observe and enjoy the day. July 14th, 2018 will forever in my mind go down as that wonderful day! Anne and Hugh got married on a hot July day in the perfect setting. They chose the uniqueness of the History Colorado Center and the Art Hotel to celebrate a day worth celebrating. With the help of Sweetly Paired it was perfect!
Now, knowing Anne and Hugh, I knew this was going to be a great wedding. They were fully ready for their wedding day. As soon as I walked in the room, Anne was looking glamorous and had her incredibly big smile one. That smile can fill a room. Hugh was relaxed as can be, getting dressed and having a few drinks with his buddies. It seemed like the world was standing still for this moment. Each part of the day went by at the perfect pace. It was enough to really soak in and enjoy every moment.
One of my favorite moments was during the signing of their Ketubah. The Rabbi, who happened to be a long time friend, took the prayer shawl and passed it around to each of their family members. As the family member received it they would say a word or a phrase that they had as a pray for the couples. The prayers were simple, deep, insightful and sweet. It was a perfect range of everything you want in a couple. It made the moment truly special. Then during the ceremony as she wrapped it around Hugh and Anne it solidified all those wonderful things their friends and family had to say.
I feel like those moments saturated their day. It had the fullness and richness of years of love and support all packed into one day. During Hugh’s dad’s toast he spoke so highly of Anne. He just went on and on about how impressive and incredible of a woman she was and how lucky they were to have her and her family as part of theirs. I also noticed how attentive their siblings and frines were. Everyone was committed to making this the best day of their lives. And they deserve it! Anne and Hugh are sweet loving people who give so much of themselves to the world.
As the sun set over the mountains and I watched Anne and Hugh snuggle in, I realized how blessed I am to be a part of their marriage. What a great way to start off years of happiness!
Congratulations Anne and Hugh! Your marriage is going to be as incredible as your wedding day and so much more!
