So nice to see weddings that bring out the true passions and dreams of the couple. This wedding surely did that. How beautiful and intimate! Thanks for sharing, Jo!

I grew up in Colorado. Dunton Hot springs used to be a out of the way run down secret and I loved it. once we went there for Thanksgiving and our cabin had snow drifts coming in the door so we all hung out in the kitchen with the cook. The room was $30 dollars a night and the dinner was $10. We pretended that it was the other way around because the dinner and the people we met were AMAZING. When I was really young I thought that the hot springs were magical because a splinter I had in my hand fell out and I sore up and down it was the magic water that 'healed' me. haha! Wow... you just brought back memories!!!

Oh man, I want to love this. I truly do. The family, the landscape, the flowers, the hot tub (oh, the hot tub!), everything is so beautiful...except the poor pig on the spit. Really unnecessary and disgusting, ruins the whole thing for me. :(

Addison said...

I love the the destination, its beautiful. I especially like the hot tub/watering hole!

hedonista said...

This is EXACTLY how I want my wedding to be. We already have a kid so I don't want anything too uptight or formal (if/when), just a gathering of friends and good food in a gorgeous setting.

Mocha Mornings said...

I found your blog via a tweet from Frye Boots back before Christmas, and now I am so in love. I so look forward to my 10 minutes of "jo time" every day (I usually try to check in after a stressful conference call or crazy morning of meetings. Reading the blog is becoming such a nice way to decompress for a few minutes). Love the beautiful, thoughtful and inspiring posts like this one about this beautiful, sweet wedding. Everything you write is so totally up my alley. Don't know how I hadn't found you sooner. Thank you!

I LOVE Dunton. We almost got married there, date set and everything. In the end we opted for a house... I still tell my husband that I want to get married there and tear up a bit every time I see an amazing wedding held there. Congrats to Victoria and Sean!

I love this wedding. Showing that love doesn't have to be a huge elegant event, it can be comfy, special and full of just as much love. Adore it.

That wedding was very pretty, but could not have just happened, because there is probably 4 feet of snow there now. It obviously took place in early fall. Congrats to the couple!

How fantastic! After all that work and planning for the wedding, it is very nice to chill out and relax in the comforts of a hot bath. The scenery is great as well, providing a good background for that special day.

P.S. The pics look lovely!
