A Wedding

So ... something like two months has passed since our last post. We really have no excuse, so let's get to it.


Back at the beginning of August my sister Jenn got married at the Magnolia Hotel in downtown Denver. We had all been very excited all summer for this big day. Her new husband Jason is a great guy whom we all have gotten to know and love over the years. Together with his son Anthony, they make a great family. Everyone was very excited to welcome Jason and Anthony to the family and had a blast celebrating their marriage.

We started the day in LoDo at the hair salon where we had our hair (obviously) and makeup done. Marc tagged along to capture some photos and did our every bidding. All told, he made something like four trips across downtown doing everything from getting coffees, to getting veils, to getting, and dropping off, Mom. He didn't seem to mind as he was constantly trying to best his previous run up 17th Street and back down 18th. Later, we had a quick sushi lunch and then it was off to the hotel to get dressed.


It was a simple and elegant ceremony. Marielle and Anthony tackled the duties of flower girl and ring bearer although I don't think that even one petal made it out of Marielle's basket. She was much too busy being shy and the center of attention (for her brief pass down the aisle) at the same time to even remember her flower girl duties. The ceremony was set in front of this great candle-lit wishing pool and fountain. Marc thought that keeping Marielle interested in the ceremony instead of the fountain would be a challenge, but she did really well. Harper, under the expert care of Marc's parents, did well throughout most of the ceremony as well.

We followed the ceremony with a great party. The food was good as was the dancing. Marielle would tell you that the dancing was the best part of the night. I think she got on the dance floor at 6:00 p.m and didn’t leave until we did at 10:00 p.m. She even ate her piece of cake while dancing on the dance floor. She just couldn’t get enough.


In addition to the photos we took, you can view a handful of photos taken by the Wedding Photographers if you click here. I'd like to say that the delay in posting this blog is their fault as we waited for them to post photos, but that just wouldn't be true.

Congratulations again to Jenn and Jason!!!
