Hilary + Duncan got married early this summer at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park Colorado. They had family and friends join them from quite literally every corner of the world: Holland, Mexico, England and multiple areas across the United States. You know you’re in the presence of some quality human beings when 200 people are willing to travel across the globe to celebrate your love story!
Even though these two live in Washington DC now with their adorable puppy, their roots began in Colorado when they met each other as friends while attending The School of Mines in Golden Colorado pursuing super fancy degrees in bio-chemi-physic-ism-ness or something or other (fancy science words that went right over my head, but I’ll have them correct me so I can updates this later haha!) Their friendship grew stronger and stronger over the years and eventually grew in to a strong rooted relationship. I love that during their vows Hilary talked about how she was thankful for him respecting her and treating her as an equal, and how he shared that she taught him how a house wasn’t a home without a dog. It is so evident that these two value each other and have such an authentic, deep connection. They are truly what you would consider #relationshipgoals.
After exchanging their sweet vows on Longs Peak Long with the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains as their backdrop these two celebrated with (the most delicious) food, drinks, cake, coffee, dancing to live music and the photo booth with their incredible group of family and friends in The McGregor Room at The Stanley Hotel!
I wish I could time machine back to this day over and over because it was absolutely amazing!
