Breckenridge Wedding Planner Plans Her Wedding!

Posted by elizabeth waldmann on January 24th, 2014

The wedding venue has been chosen and the contract has been signed. Let me back up. Wes and I met and fell in love a little over seven years ago. About four and a half years into it, he asked me to marry him. I’ll save you from doing the math. We have been engaged for two and a half years. To some (most), that would seem like a really long time. Not for us. We have been having a blast trying to find the perfect wedding venue. We have been EVERYWHERE. Not only have we done a ton of research on the Internet (Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Maryland, Florida, Santa Fe, etc), but we have also actually traveled to a few places. Turns out the Florida Keys are a great place to fish but a place to have a wedding?…not for us. Our families have even been in on the research.  My mom, dad, aunt and uncle went to our family farm in Iowa to check out a venue. (Yes, I have an amazing family) Well after all of that, we found it. Ridgway, Colorado. I know it’s hard to believe we end up in the state we call home. Colorado is just so beautiful so why wouldn’t we get married here? I cannot wait to share with you my experience of planning our wedding.
