30 seconds before his surprise proposal, she asked why their friend wasn’t coming over to pick up the skis. “Oh, it’s probably because you would be too busy proposing to me,” she joked.

Kirsten knew Marc was the one. “He’s never crabby in the morning. He’s generous. He knows how to balance fun, responsibility, and immaturity at the same time,” she said. “It’s rare to find that.”

Off the beaten path, Kirsten and Marc celebrated with friends and family at the serene Lone Hawk Farms, a dog-friendly wedding venue outside Boulder, Colorado. Their dog, Tucker, played an important part of the day. After the ceremony, when everyone was clapping, Tucker clapped by barking along!

Among Kirsten’s favorite memories from the day included Marc seeing her in her dress for the first time, enjoying the comfy outside decor, and the surprise photo slideshow by her sister, Elke. Highlights for Marc included the First Look, the emotional ceremony that left no dry eyes (even with the guys), and the amazing party with cameo appearances by Batman & Darth Vadar. And let’s not forget the adorable hashtag: #Moonpie62114.

Marc is a big fan of Burning Man (ditto, here). His Burning Man experiences made him more open and emotional which you can not only see, but feel. I enjoyed meeting fellow Burners at their Colorado farm wedding. While they won’t be going this year (enjoy South Africa!), I look forward to connecting to several wedding guests on the playa this year.

As generous hosts, they indulged guests with artisan cabernet wine from the Alexander Valley at Marc’s family winery paired with tapas delivered by food trucks with Colorado fresh air to it all cap off! I’m fortunate to be a part of this heartfelt wedding!
