Couple’s name Denise & AJ Mertens

Wedding date May 9, 2009

Where he proposed Aspen, Colorado

First dance song “Annie’s Song” by John Denver and “Everything” by Michael Bublé

Favorite detail “We loved the lighting and the band kept the dance floor filled all night long. It also meant a lot to us to have pictures of our loved ones that have passed away on the guest book table at the church.”

If we could do it differently… “We would have put a camera above the dance floor to record our guests’ dance moves!”

Design Inspiration The special times the couple spent together in Aspen.

A little advice “If the bride does not get ready at the church, she should arrange transportation for her father and herself to the church alone, so they can spend a little time together before everything gets hectic.”
