Story: Stephanie and Adam met in June of 2021 and quickly realized their lives were forever changed. In March of 2024, their greatest adventure began when they went to their favorite place in Gunnison, Colorado and Adam asked Stephanie to spend forever with him. Completely alone and surrounded by snowcapped mountains in front their favorite lake, Stephanie said yes. As avid nature lovers, Stephanie and Adam knew they wanted an outdoor wedding and dreamed of "ethereal opulence" - the feeling of a fairytale underneath hundred year old Oak trees. After touring multiple venues, Stephanie and Adam walked under the canopy of trees at Sacred Oaks at Camp Lucy... and were both in tears. The feeling was exactly what they had prayed for. It was a moment like no other ... That is, until they said "I Do" under the same Oaks on June 7th, 2025! Our wedding day was a culmination of our lifelong hopes and dreams - it was pure magic. Surrounded by our family and friends from every stage of our lives, we walked into Forever Together. A canopy of Oaks, florals reminiscent of the scene in The Great Gatsby with wisteria hanging from the trees and chandelier, a string quartet, our 15 year old angel pup Pebbles as our Flower Girl, a cigar roller in honor of Stephanie's late grandfather, beer donkeys (the "only thing" Adam needed!), dancing the night away to throwbacks, private last dance without a soul in the venue except Stephanie & Adam.... It was the best day of our lives. There aren't enough words to describe the joy and love we felt as our two hearts became one. With Love, The Mellens
