This Kate Spade inspired wedding was filled a lot of pinks, reds, greens, black and white polka dots, and sparkle! How do you meet? Jennifer was with her sister and her friend. Her friend was meeting up with a co-worker at Hopa Sushi in Cherry Creek. The co-workers friend was Shane. He was shy and didn't talk at first. They sat along the bar on opposite ends. Half way through dinner Shane noticed her Kate Spade piano keys clutch. He went over and asked if he could tickle her ivories. They hit it off and at the end of the night he asked for her number. After the proper three day wait time he called and asked her on a date. They have been together ever since! How she knew he was the one: Shane has a servants heart. He would give the shirt off his back if you needed it. He never speaks ill of anyone! Maybe a month or so into dating, Jennifer�s grandma passed and life got crazy. He stood by her side encouraging her. She knew she had found her match of who can love whom more. He usually spoils her the most but she wakes up every day trying to make life a little better for him. She knew I couldn't be without him. What really sealed the deal and made it so Jennifer wanted to get married sooner rather than later was when she got shingles in the fall last year. This triggered Bell's Palsy which made her face half paralyzed. She looked and sounded like she had a stroke. She couldn't blink, swallow, or hear for quite some time. During that time Shane never stopped saying how beautiful she was and how amazing she is. He took such good care of her but never acted worried or wished she was back to the way she was. She realized that Shane sees with his heart not his eyes. He sees the best in her. She knew in her heart that she wanted to spend all of her life with him and that she couldn't wait any longer. How he proposed: Shane plans "date days" all of the time. He told her to get ready for a date day. They started at their breakfast joint in downtown Littleton, Blueberries. Then Shane took her to the zoo. It was magical! It was snowing so no one was there but all of the animals were out. He wanted to take their pictures by the giraffes because they were her Mimi's favorite animal. He took her to a cupcake shop so she could have a treat. Then he said the day wasn't over and they had dinner plans. Again, she had no idea because date days happen once a month in their house! He took her to a restaurant called Terracotta's in downtown Littleton. Later she found out that this was where he took her parents for breakfast to ask for her hand in marriage. At this point she thought something might be up because he was avoiding the roles, goals, and expectation questions as she thought it would be a good topic since it was January 3rd and the start of the new year. He took her home and he had the fire lit, champagne popped and music on. They were just watching the fire when one of their favorite songs came on and he asked if she wanted to dance. They danced and then he got down on one knee and said the perfect, most heart warming things that every girl wants to hear. She didn't even let him finish before she said yes! Tips to pass on to other brides in the planning process: It's the bride and grooms day don't let it be about anyone else! Spend time thinking about the years after the wedding.... the wedding is only 6 hours so make sure you've made plans for life after the wedding. Don't stress about anything! As long as the bride and groom are happy your friends and family want what you want. Most memorable moment during the planning process: We took a family vacation to Ireland in March. It was a perfect time relax and really think about what was most important... our friends and family and making it fun! We make it a goal to do at least one big trip a year. Next year we are going to Italy and stay in vineyards.
