Megan and Ben's Weddding

We had ONE day home in Denver before we had to leave for Vail to be a part of Ben and Megan's wedding.  I closed on my third house, we kissed our babies goodbye at Barb's and hit the road for Vail. 

We made it to the rehearsal with two whole minutes to spare.  

The rehearsal went off with out a hitch and then it was in the shuttle for an amazing drive up the mountains to Red Cliff Colorado.  

Ben's family rented out a Mexican restaurant for the night and the meal was incredible.  It was more than fun to drink margaritas and talk with old friends from college.  


Megan paid for the bridal party to stay in a mountain mansion, but I passed on the rehearsal night so that I could spend the night sans kids with Max.  

We woke up early to walk around Vail Village together and so that we could brunch on the deck by the river.  



After brunch...it was all bridal party bliss for me.  I was completely focused on helping this lady look her best....it's a tough job, but someone had to do it :) 

One might mention that this job was so extremely difficult that I got an airbrush makeup treatment and a mimosa while at work.  


After getting all dolled up it was straight to the turtle bus for pictures with the bridal party in Vail.  


 We laughed so hard and it was just about as fun as an afternoon posing for pictures could be...










Max wisely spent his time mountain biking up Vail mountain.  

He is also a secret photography stud! 

After pictures the nerves really set in...just kidding.  Megan and Ben were finally going to make it official.  It only took approximately 14 years....

Love this sign because it is true. 


The wedding went beautifully and I think I only cried once.  That's a win.  


 I apologize for not having more pictures of the reception.  I'm pretty sure I was trying not to cry and dancing.....

                                   


Oh yes...the dancing....was so fantastic. Not a filled seat in the house! 


We ended the night with a continuation party at the bridal house complete with the DJ and leftover wedding beer and wine.  
To say that we had fun would be an understatement! 

Congrats to Megan and Ben and thanks to all of our friends for making these nights so special and this life so amazing.  
Love truly does make the world go around.
