Colorado Wedding

The happy couple! 

There are events in life that make you recognize just how incredibly beautiful and blessed this life is. Luke and Mary’s wedding was so very lovely. Another wedding set in the mountains (Michaela and Austin’s was in Lake Tahoe) surrounded by such stunning beauty that one feels astonished to be in such a place for that moment when Love glistens so brightly and creation echoes a joyful sound all around. Luke and Mary contributed to the event in their own creative and unique ways that I believe blessed everyone in attendance. I am deeply grateful for another awesome member added to our family. Mary is loved and appreciated for the beautiful person she is, both within and without. Our time with them in Colorado is filled with joyful memories that I’ll carry with me forever.

After the wedding, Bill and I enjoyed several mountain hikes that were very satisfying. I’ll share photos and write more about them in my next post, including some thoughts on traversing the peaks and valleys of life. For now, here are more wedding photos. Each one brings me such joy to reflect on.

We all agreed. Their backyard is so ZEN!

I did a terrible job of capturing everyone in photos. Looking forward to the photographer pics!

Having some of my family from Illinois was truly special.

The food was delicious!
