This backyard wedding in Colorado Springs was so different from my usual! She’s from Sri Lanka, he’s from Germany, and they met in a hot tub in Canada! Darshika and Johannes are some of the most interesting, educated and intelligent people I’ve met in a while. And extremely nice, too!

It’s technically a misnomer to call their celebration a backyard wedding, because they actually got married in the living room of their beautiful home in Black Forest, just northeast of Colorado Springs. There were a mere 22 guests, almost all of whom came from afar. And I mean REALLY far. I loved how Johannes and Darshika incorporated Sri Lankan and German traditions into their special day, and their families appreciated it too. It was such a lovely, intimate and laid back celebration! Congratulations Darshika and Johannes!
