A year ago Valentine's Day, my fiance surprised me with a beautiful weekend of skiing and massage and relaxation at Crested Butte Retreat...and a beautiful diamond ring. That time, we stayed in the Maroon Bells suite.
Since it was going to be a second wedding for both of us, we wanted something small and intimate and elegant. We were so enamored with the Retreat that we decided to come back for our wedding.
After many, many, many talks with Jayne, the property manager, we decided on a June wedding because the wildflowers would be blooming and the winter ski season would be long over.
It was such the right decision!
Just a few family and friends, nothing over-the-top. Jayne helped line up the florist and the photographer, arranged a wonderful ceremony and reception, and generally made it a fairytale come true.
The wildflowers were in bloom and the retreat was even more beautiful than during the winter. On Jayne's recommendation, we stayed in Pearl, the honeymoon suite. I can't recommend it highly enough!!
