Our Wedding

Kristine and Marcus first met at their place of work. We know it's frowned upon to date your co-workers, so they decided to get married! Kristine and Marcus were good friends for a while and finally realized that their feelings were deeper than that. Marcus being the shy one actually took the leap of faith and asked Kristine out first. Since then, it was a series of fun adventures and love grew fast and easily. Speaking of adventures, Marcus proposed to Kristine on October 1st, 2024 in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. She had no clue that he had set up a whole romantic dinner on the beach including a photographer and was so excited when she got to say yes! The couple currently live in Colorado Springs with their three-legged dachshund Biff, who you might seeing hopping around on the wedding day. They enjoy traveling, eating good food, taking Biff on (short) hikes, and attending concerts. We look forward to celebrating with everyone in October!

Buena Vista is home to one of the Bride and Groom's favorite Craft Breweries, Eddyline. Pick one of their two locations and enjoy sipping delicious beer on a beautiful patio!

Soaking in the hot springs is a must do in Colorado! Buena Vista and the surrounding area is home to a few different options to soak and relax. The bride and groom's favorite is Mt Princeton, as mentioned. The best part - the hot springs in this area are non-sulfurous, which means they don't stink!
