She’s elegant and graceful.  A debutante kind of girl, with a girl next door kind of personality.  She lights up a room with her presence and her laugh.  Her smile is as bright as the sun and her love for him is just as warm.

He’s accomplished and respected.  Quite charming, really.  His humor is subtle and keen.  A litty zany sometimes.  But there’s a serious side to him.  A side she only knows.   You can see something different in his eyes when he looks at her.  Something that makes any heart melt.  Such intensity in his gaze and softness in his smile;  you just know he’s waited his whole life to marry this woman and there’s nothing in this world he wouldn’t do for her.

Peri and Paul were married on a gorgeous April day on what we believe was the nicest, warmest day of the year so far.  Their wedding was held at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Colorado Springs, followed by their Cheyenne Mountain Resort reception.  It was a day perfect in every single way.  Peri and Paul, thank you.  Thank you for brining so much joy to us.  Thank you for teaching us a little more about commitment and what it means to love.  We adore you too.

So much love and joy,
René + Jesie (and Michael too!)

Peri had the most gorgeous shoes!  A pair of Ivanka Trumps for the ceremony and those stunning Lauren James for the party.

Like I said, exquisite.

Ah!  Peri, you took MY breath away!

Meanwhile, Jesie was rockin’ out with the guys.

Love Paul’s dad!

Apparently the men in Paul’s family are bow-tie kind of men. :-) So it was a no brainer they had these adorable custom bow ties made for the day.

Stay tuned for part II – the ceremony is the best!
