Our smiles couldn't get any bigger. The happiest day in our lives!!With 100 of our friends and family who joined us in Estes Park, Colorado, at The Stanley Hotel, we celebrated the start of our lives together in style!
We could not possibly capture all of the love and all of the FUN...
but we have tried to remember some of our favorite moments.
Please feel free to add your favorites to our list.
xoxo.
Dr. and Mrs. Sampson
ghost tour with scary mary! my cousin Ava is the star :-)
our awesome 'set up' team! the room was beautiful because of all of you.
bad weather blowing through. reassuring words from Gareth.
sun at just the right moment for an outdoor ceremony.
elk and rainbows for the reception! wow!!
relying on the wedding party. being so organized before the wedding day that I could be scattered on the wedding day. thank you to everyone who answered a phone call to 'please, bring Jane _____.'
getting notes, texts, and posts all day long - filled with love!
seeing each other for the first time all dressed up!
getting my hair done with Tiff and Sarah! visits from Susan and Kim.
Photographer: that's the beauty of taking pictures before the ceremony.
Jane: you mean we can drink a cocktail now?! woo hoo!
getting ready with my girls. such beauty all in one room!
kind words from strangers as I was waiting in my wedding dress...prompting a conversation with Lindsey in which I am considering wearing the dress again -- on just a regular night on the town.
champagne, poured by Michelle!
discovering that Red's drunken super-power is dipping people.
Jane: I think Red dipped me last night.
Gareth: Yea, he dipped me, too.
dancing with my Mom and Aunts! all of my family rocked it!!
Clyde (to Jane): We need to do this every weekend!
Sharon and Nicole doing the jump rope.
pulling everyone out to dance. no one refused!
high-fives with my AWESOME wedding coordinator when we figured out we could get everyone on the dance floor with a well-timed song and better lighting!
Molly (to Gareth): please stop playing Journey. I've seen a side of Kevin that I never want to see again.
Mark's bug-eyes and goofy faces.
amazing soup! seriously. it was SO good.
where did you get your music?! (shhh!!...DJ Kurv, Red Fez)
Bart (to Gareth): I will PAY YOU for that music!!
an impromptu Michael Jackson tribute. lots of love.
waterfalls of tequila. whoospy!
a private photo shoot and hike to the ruins, across the street. feeling like Gareth and I are the only two people in the world.
meeting Gareth's college friends: Juan, Bart, and Brian.
seeing my cousin, Heather. feeling her Mother's presence and love.
blinded by the 'strobe light' of flashing cameras on the dance floor.
Sebastian's awesome dance moves!
a complement to Gareth and I that also complemented my brother and his wife.
being surrounded by so many people we love that we couldn't wipe the smiles off of our faces if we tried!!
