Molly and Brandon's Colorado Territorial Wedding

When Molly Dowd and Brandon Pickett decided to have an old fashioned Colorado style wedding they picked Lower Lake Ranch. This site is set beneath chalk cliffs near highway 285 and Turkey Creek. In meetings with Dr. Whitman they talked a good deal about the older Colorado customs from Colorado Territorial (pre-statehood) days.

Since Forrest was coming from the Gilpin County Fair where he'd done his impersonation of our first Territorial Governor, William Gilpin he was dressed for the part. The guests enjoyed doing the old Colorado promise from 1860 and laughed a lot at the first question....Do any of you know of any reason why Molly and Brandon should not....and Forrest quickly moved on! It was a perfect afternoon by the flowing stream. It really did feel like an old time Colorado wedding.

LET'S CHAT AT A WEDDING SHOW

I'd love to chat with you either January 29 or April 19 at the Crystal Rose wedding shows 11a.m. till 3 p.m. There's always lots of free food and a glass of champagne too. There's no cost of admission and it's part of the fun in wedding planning. You'll find photographers, cake and flower folks, DJs and more at these shows. I like to watch the wedding tux and dress parades that go down the aisles. A wedding show is a good chance to think of what you'll want at your wedding.

I hope to see you Jan. 23 at the Crystal Rose near highlands ranch (303-730-4643 for directions; I like to get off C-470 at Lucent and drive over. The Lookout Mountain location happens April 10 so some flowers might be peeking out. Lookout Mountain is right above Golden and affords a spectacular view of the city. You just drive up I-70 and get off at any of the signs saying “Buffalo Bill's Grave/ Lookout Mountain. You'll see the Crystal Rose on your right. There will be a horse drawn carriage out in front.

You can also get to know me  Jan. 22  (11 to 3) 2165 Academy Place in Colorado Springs. This promises to be a great wedding show.
