Ally and Aaron’s love journeyed from Kentucky to Colorado, merging their shared Southern charm with the breathtaking mountain scenery of their new home. After a year and a half of engagement, they honored Ally’s Colorado roots by exchanging vows at the beautiful Arrowhead Golf Club. Surrounded by majestic red rock formations, the venue offered panoramic views of the Colorado Rockies, perfectly complementing their dream of a classic outdoor wedding with a rustic touch.
After a memorable trip to shop for rings, Ally suspected an engagement was coming. However, she didn’t expect Aaron to make the proposal so magical! On December 26th, surrounded by family at Colorado’s snow-covered Evergreen Lake, Aaron asked for her hand. The breathtaking views added to the moment, and a joyful “Yes!” filled the air as Ally, beaming with excitement, admired the ring—exactly the one she had fallen in love with during their shopping trip. Aaron received Ally’s grandfather’s blessing the following day, creating a cherished moment that made the proposal even more meaningful.
On the morning of May 11th, warm sunshine filled the air, creating an atmosphere of excitement. Ally began her day at Aaron’s mom’s Airbnb, where her loved ones helped her achieve a glamorous Southern look, complete with a half-up, half-down hairstyle inspired by Dolly Parton.
The day started with an intimate gathering that included a prayer with Aaron before the ceremony. Their shared faith brought about a quiet yet heartfelt moment of reflection before the festivities began.
As Ally walked down the aisle to “I Swear“ by John Michael Montgomery, she was accompanied by her parents. Aaron, filled with emotion, awaited her with a beaming smile. They exchanged vows and celebrated their love, surrounded by the beauty of nature, which provided the perfect backdrop for their commitment.
After a dreamy ceremony, the clouds rolled in just as the couple signed their marriage license. What began as a sunny day quickly transformed into a light rain and sleet, but the unpredictable weather only added to the adventure! Ally and Aaron opted for an earlier cocktail hour with their guests, allowing everyone to enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres while the weather changed.
Inside, the décor showcased a timeless rustic elegance. Soft dusty blue, navy, and white accents were paired with lush greenery, creating an inviting atmosphere that balanced simplicity with class. Guests savored a delightful dinner featuring chicken, salmon, roasted vegetables, and mashed potatoes, with each bite celebrating the day’s joy.
Instead of a traditional cake, Ally and Aaron surprised their guests with a two-tiered cheesecake topped with berries and a Colorado mountain scene, alongside delectable cheesecake bars in vanilla, raspberry, and cookies & cream flavors.
Ally and Aaron created lasting memories during their unforgettable wedding celebration. Their first dance to “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing“ by Aerosmith featured a surprise flip in the middle, adding excitement to the moment. The couple danced the night away wearing cowboy hats and enjoyed classic rock music. Surrounded by family and friends, they shared laughter and tears, cherishing every heartfelt moment that marked the beginning of their life together.
