Why Colorado
Us, a mountain, and maybe a marmot
We wanted our wedding to feel like us. Not a performance, not a production. Just the two of us, making promises to each other somewhere unforgettable.
From the 1st to the 15th of September, we're heading to the US for a road trip across the Southwest. We'll say our vows at Lookout Mountain in Golden, Colorado, looking out over the foothills and the plains beyond, then spend two weeks hiking and biking our way through the Rockies, Moab, Bryce Canyon, and beyond.
We know this isn't what you expected. You'd normally be there, and we love you for wanting to be. But we wanted this one moment to be completely, quietly ours.
What we do want is to celebrate with everyone we care about when we're home. That's where you come in.
The Road Trip
Two weeks, three states
After the ceremony we're hitting the road. Two weeks through some of the most dramatic landscapes on Earth, looping through Colorado, Utah, and Arizona.
The Reception
This is the bit with you in it
We didn't want to get married without celebrating with the people who matter most to us. So we're throwing a proper party when we get home.
No ceremony, no formalities, just good food, good drinks, surrounded by friends and family.
If you fancy making a weekend of it, you're more than welcome. The venue is right on the seafront, we'll be around for dog walks along the beach or can recommend some great walks and other things to do.
There may be opportunities to catch us for breakfast, lunch or dinner over the weekend, but we'll play it by ear.
Your being there is the only gift we want. But if you'd like to contribute to our adventure fund, it'll go straight toward national park passes, desert diners, and very questionable motel coffee.
If you do wish to contribute, we have a pot set up on Monzo which you can donate to here: Monzo Donation Link
