In early October we were fortunate enough to join Julie Schlegel and George Darrow in Aspen, CO for their perfectly planned, intimate wedding weekend. Julie is a sorority sister and good friend from college and she met her husband to be at a work function at about the same time I met Chris. Our stories were oddly similar and our long distance relationships, quickly moved to not so long distance and developed swiftly into the real deal. As Chris and I's wedding was rapidly approaching Julie was busy bringing their handsome little one into the world. Knox was an amazing addition to their life and was an equally great addition to the wedding festivities!
On Friday Chris and I drove west towards Aspen and played a relaxing game of golf at Lakota Canyon. We were pretty much the only two on the course and at a perfect 70 degrees it was a great start to our weekend. We then drove south into Aspen and checked into our room at the Aspen Meadows Resort where the wedding would be held the next day. That night all the guest joined the bride and groom to be at a local pizza place for delicious thin crust wood fired pizzas, bruschetta, other appetizers and local brews. We had a great time hanging out with Julie and a few other people I knew from college.
On Saturday morning Chris and I drove into Aspen for breakfast and a walk around the Aspen Farmer's Market. We then headed back to the hotel to check out bikes and take a nice little ride around town. As the sun started setting we joined the other wedding guest on the meadow for a sweet and simple ceremony that perfectly captured Julie and George's personality. After the ceremony we walked over to the hotel restaurant for an outdoor cocktail hour, a buffet full of local ingredients and a full on dance party.
Sunday morning we went on a quick hike before breakfast, joined the newlyweds for a fair well brunch and headed back to Denver. Congrats again Julie, George and Knox!! It was an amazing weekend!
