Melinda & Mike | July 30 2011 | Pagosa Springs, Colorado

From the bride:
I wanted our wedding to be fun without the formality and I loved the idea of a whimsical ‘Alice in Wonderland’ tea party.

During our ceremony, the weather was cloudy with a strong possibility of heavy rain. As our officiant began reciting an Apache wedding verse, she said “and there will be no more rain” the sun broke through the clouds for a moment and our guests all gasped and then laughed. Shortly after the ceremony, it rained, it poured and then it hailed.I spent six months collecting mismatched china from second hand stores.RECOMMENDED VENDORS

A Perfect Day in Pagosa

From the bride, Heather:
Our ceremony was overlooking a pond and the San Juan Mountains on my parents property.  We wrote our own vows and John’s father married us.  Our reception was held in a meadow under a huge white tent strung with hundreds of white lights. After dark, we lit a bonfire for people to gather around when they needed a break from the dancing.


FIRST DANCE
We had been taking swing dance lessons so we could give everyone a show that they would never forget!  After the ceremony, I changed into a short dress and we danced to Smash Mouth’s ‘I’m a Believer’ from Shrek. We did leaps, throws, flips, and astounded everyone!

From the bride, Paige:
I saw a beautiful pink & orange themed wedding showcased on television and at that moment, I knew those were the colors I would someday use in my wedding.  Five years later, my dream was realized!

MEMORABLE MOMENT
My dad passed away a few years ago, so when it was time for me to walk down the aisle, my mom took my arm.  It was so special it brought tears to both our eyes.
