A Colorado Wedding with Hats!

Blue skies, sunshine, a brisk fall breeze in the air, pine trees, and a vista overlooking the city of Boulder accompanied a beautiful wedding ceremony on top of Flagstaff mountain at 6,850 feet. The beautiful bride and her hunk-a-hunk-a-burning love were serenaded with bagpipes and birds singing as they walked down the dirt aisle. The officiator, our dear friend Brent, eloquently led the ceremony and before we knew it the bagpipes played as the couple kissed.









The reception was held at the swank and historic Boulderado hotel. A delicious dinner with sea-bass and eggplant Parmesan, followed by a to-die-for chocolate wedding cake accompanied bottomless glasses of wine. So, yeah...the fun began! In true Liz & Aaron style, buckets of hats, wigs, beads, and masks were set out by the dance floor and before you knew it pirates, pimps, buffaloes, and even the Pope were dancing up a storm. At one point I overhead the bride talk with her father about the time, he was having such a great time he said, "Let's extend it by a half-and-hour." The dancing went on and then the party train moved downstairs to the Catacombs bar, our old stomping grounds.
