The Little Wedding That Could

Let me be very frank when I say,

I didn’t think this wedding was going to happen.

There was never a point when I could relax and say, “wow, I’m getting married!”.

Andrew and I had been planning this wedding since October 2019. The moments in-between were filled with a pandemic, a wildfire, lost invitations, changes in bridal parties, and massive reconfigurations. There were many tears and stages of stress I would never want to experience again.

However, despite it all…

it happened.

Simply put, it was the most incredible day of my life.

I got to marry my soulmate at 8,296 feet in Estes Park Colorado next to my closest friends and family.

A few fun facts:

We had custom masks
None of us were ready for the amount of snow we faced (We’re Texans)
My feet were numb walking down the aisle + my sis in law gave me her socks afterwards (bless you, Dez)
My girl Jacky took on the stressful job of being our DJ and did amazing
We had to get an officiant last minute + Jane was a lifesaver and such a blessing!
My mom got ordained online because I wasn’t sure I would be able to get a Colorado Wedding License because my ID was expired, thankfully- I did
None of this would have happened without my bridesmaids… period
Had a breakdown a day before the wedding + the morning of (it’s funny now)
Our reception got cancelled a week before the wedding so we rented 3 spaced out cabins for our crew
Sugar Pine Catering brought our meals to the cabins for us + made me a vegan meal (bless)
All of our vendors were incredibly flexible and kind
Guests took tests before they came
No one got COVID
