Johannes and Darshika’s multicultural backyard wedding

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!

Sheldon Jackson Chapel wedding: Susan + David

Sheldon Jackson Chapel wedding Monument CO
My last wedding of the year couldn’t have been sweeter. I love their story: Susan and David knew each other in college but weren’t romantic, and reconnected years later on Facebook. One thing led to another, and we found ourselves at the historic Sheldon Jackson Chapel in Monument, Colorado on a snowy November Saturday as these two lovebirds tied the knot! The ceremony was even more special because David’s dad, Devere, officiated. Afterward, family and friends gathered at David’s parents’ comfy home for a delicious home-cooked meal. It was absolutely lovely. Congratulations Susan and David, it was the best!

Yes, these are foosball figures! It’s an inside joke between Susan, David and their friends. I thought it was hilarious! What do you think of the “bride”? ;^)

The classic “cake topper” pose — I thought it would be apropos, since the Sheldon Jackson Chapel has such a sweet, old-fashioned ambience.
