Trevor always wanted to get married at a winery. When he was 15 years old he told his family friends that when they built their winery he would get married there. I am not sure at the time if anyone took him seriously. It seems so romantic for a 15 year old boy to think. But one, two, skip a few years later and there he was, standing at the front of the alter waiting for his bride to be.
The romance seems to have started there, it was just meant to be. Although Trevor and Shayna met years later, it was clear that Shayna was just the woman he was waiting for. Within hours of meeting her he was swept away and even proposed! Though that first proposal wasn’t taken seriously, it can not be overlooked. When you know, you know.
This story is just one of many wonders in Shayna and Trevor’s love story. These two people are genuine and bright. They bring so much joy to the people around them. So naturally, when everyone met the person they each had fallen in love with they were both not surprised and yet awestruck. How do two people get so lucky? It is clear that when they are together they are even better. They bring out so much joy in each other and spread that all around. Their wedding was a huge testament to that. The chatter and smiles didn’t stop. It felt both like a backyard bbq with everyone being the oldest of friends and an elegant and worthy celebration of their love.
Sweet Heart Winery is for sure one of my new favorite spots in the Loveland and Fort Collins area and frankly in the Denver, Colorado area. It has everything! I love the barn feel with the full wall of wine barrels. It backs up to open space, over looks the foot hills and has a full field of sunflowers. The back space is private and cozy and can be easily filled with laugher and kids running around in the grasses. Plus… the wine! They did a wonderful job providing an elegant and comfortable space for Shayna and Trevor to celebrate.
There were too many good things throughout the day to tell you my favorite. You will just have to look at pictures and share stories. Needless to say it was a good day. Nope, it was a great day for a great love! We were so happy to be a part of it!
Thanks to all the awesome vendors!
