Amber and Norm finally had their dreams come true on Saturday. They had the most beautiful wedding at
Elk Mountain Resort in Montrose. What an incredible place, and incredible people that work there. Amber and Norm had chosen this beautiful place because of its beauty and what a perfect outdoor wedding would be like there. Unfortunately, the weather had other plans. It snowed two days before the wedding, and the staff made the call to plan the wedding in their quaint Swiss wedding chapel. It broke their hearts to think of not being able to get married outside in the aspen trees that so define both of them. The morning of the wedding, Gil went to the staff and did some begging on behalf of Amber and Norm. Bill Atkins (the general manager) and Kim Anderson (the event coordinator) agreed with much hesitation to go ahead and set up for the ceremony outside (the forecast called for afternoon thundershowers, so we all knew we were taking a risk). The staff was fabulous, and the day proceeded as one of the most spectacular days that we are so proud of here in Colorado. Everything was perfect, and Amber and Norm finally got their wedding in the aspens!
And the beautiful family!
Amber and Norm's cake didn't make the long, bumpy ride on the dirt road up to the resort. So the chef "whipped up" this gem in under five hours - it was such a beautiful cake.
I think the kids drank the place dry of Shirley Temples!
The kids played in the rock pile overlooking the lake for hours. They all got in plenty of rock throwing.
A quiet moment with Aspen...
Dancin' outside on the patio
And the most beautiful evening to a perfect wedding day. This place is truly spectacular, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a very special place.
