Say "I Do" to a Colorado wedding. From mountaintop views to open meadows
near a running river, Colorado sets the stage, and the mood, for
romantic weddings.
Riding off into the sunset takes on a whole new meaning in Colorado.
Western weddings are a specialty at guest ranches throughout the state,
rounding up the details for an authentic old West affair. The Historic
Western Hotel in Ouray or the Echo Basin Ranch in Durango are just two
of the many properties that will cater to all your wedding needs. (www.westerncoweddings.com)
Create your own history at one of the state’s nationally registered
historic places, Pueblo’s Abriendo Inn. A unique Colorado tradition,
this bed and breakfast offers several romantic packages to perfect your
wedding plans. (www.abriendoinn.com) Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison,
Colo. offers sweeping views and 300 million-year-old rocks to set the
stage for an awe-inspiring ceremony and reception. (www.redrocksonline.com)
If adventure is what you’re seeking, look no further than the top of a
14,000-foot Rocky Mountain peak. You and your beloved can cycle to the
summit of Pikes Peak, exchange vows on America’s mountain and ride down
as husband and wife. (www.pikes-peak.com) Or join in matrimony at
Loveland Ski Area. The annual tradition on St. Valentine’s Day brings
together dozens of couples at the summit to marry or renew their vows.
Afterwards, all guests are invited to schuss their way down to a
reception at the base of the mountain. (www.skiloveland.com)
