Jennifer and Evan's Wedding Weekend

June 2013

(I can't believe I haven't written about this) 

Jennifer and Evan had the most amazing wedding weekend/day in Telluride, CO. We flew in on Wednesday and flew back on Tuesday. Liam stayed with MeeMaw and PawPaw while we were gone. The first night I went with my parents to help Jennifer and Evan put together their welcome bags. Jennifer planned every detail of this wedding and went all out. Everything was pretty amazing. Everything in the bag had a Telluride theme. There were water canteens (with Telluride on them), energy bars, tylenol (for altitude headaches), sunscreen, chapstick, chocolate... all in a canvas bag.

Thursday afternoon they planned a picnic at the Telluride Town Park. You had to walk through town to get there and the street was lined with vendors. They got all the vegetables to grill that day from the stands. We found some chia seeds granola for Jason's Dad and jam for his Mom. The place of the picnic was pretty surreal.  Mountains were on both sides with a river streaming by. It was a really nice day. That night we went out to dinner with Evan's family. We were there for a long time and the kids did great. It helped that we were sitting outside.

Friday night was the rehearsal dinner at The Peaks Resort. The dinner was on a patio outside enclosed by a clear balcony. The sun was setting over the mountains and the weather was perfect. It was such a beautiful night. Their friends gave a few toasts during the night and it was fun hearing about them. They are such a cute couple :)

Saturday was the big day! My sister had a suite reserved at the hotel for all the bridesmaids to get ready. Again, it was beautiful. There was a huge balcony looking out at the mountains. There was even a masseuse there. We had lunch, got our makeup done, our hair done, hung out...

The gondola was a big hit with the girls.

Jason took the girls on a bike ride the morning of the wedding. I was with my mom and sister in the bridal suite helping and getting ready.

The kids the morning we left. We sure missed not having Liam with us!
