12:00 pm
Before the celebrations begin, the bride and groom — along with our parents — will be arriving in town and settling into our hotels, getting ready for the weekend ahead. We’ll also be taking care of the final legal details by picking up our marriage license, making everything official before we share our vows with all of you. It’s the quiet, behind-the-scenes start to what will be a truly unforgettable weekend.

Relaxing/ active clothes, swimsuit, extra change of clothes
We warmly invite you to join us at our beautiful resort hotel the day before the wedding for a time of relaxation, connection, and celebration. With family and friends traveling from near and far—many meeting for the very first time—we would love for everyone to have the chance to talk, laugh, and spend meaningful time together before the big day. Spend the afternoon enjoying our resort’s incredible amenities, whether that means kayaking or swimming on the serene 35-acre lake, playing a round of golf, unwinding at the spa, or relaxing in the sauna. It will be a wonderful opportunity to slow down, soak in the surroundings, and begin our wedding weekend feeling refreshed and connected.
3:30 pm
We kindly ask that guests arrive by 3:30 PM so there’s plenty of time to find a seat or a comfortable spot to stand. This will allow everyone to settle in and be ready for the ceremony, as the bride will be walking down the aisle promptly at 4:00 PM. We can’t wait to share this special moment with all of you!
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
On our wedding day, we will gather for a heartfelt ceremony in a small, intimate chapel surrounded by our closest family and friends. In this meaningful setting, we will exchange vows and begin our new chapter together, celebrating our love in a simple and beautiful way. It will be a special moment filled with joy, gratitude, and the warmth of having everyone we cherish by our side.
6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
During cocktail hour, guests are invited to mingle, enjoy refreshments, and find their assigned seats at their leisure. Then at 7:00 PM, we are excited to make our grand entrance and officially join the celebration. We can’t wait to gather everyone together and continue the evening surrounded by all of our favorite people.
12:00 pm
The day after the wedding, we invite everyone to join us for a fun activity day as we explore beyond the hotel and experience the beauty of Colorado together. We’ll spend time discovering the charm of Colorado Springs and the unique character of Manitou Springs, taking in the scenery, strolling through town, and enjoying local spots as a group. It will be a relaxed and memorable way to continue the celebration, make new memories, and soak in the stunning surroundings with family and friends.
1:00 pm
As our wedding weekend comes to a close, we want to thank each and every one of you for celebrating with us. We are so happy, in love, and beyond grateful that you shared this special time with us. Your presence made our micro-wedding truly unforgettable. We can’t wait to share our wedding photos with you as soon as we get them — so the memories can live on even after the weekend ends!
