Notes from the photographer, Amy Bluestar: Where they met, how he proposed......
Abril and Garner met in the fall of 2011 at the The Cap and Gown Club when they were attending Princeton. The same club where they would tell each other I love you for the first time, the place where they would spend late nights hanging out with the people that became some of their closest friends.After spending 5 years together they decided they never wanted to be apart again. Garner asked Abril what the perfect day would be in order to celebrate obtaining her American citizenship, that following Saturday they visited the Basquiat exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, walked through the botanical gardens and then went to dinner at an empty restaurant where the two sat alone and talked about the exhibit. Garner asked her "how did it made you feel" and once she finished her thoughts a waiter appeared with champagne as Garner got down on one knee and said �How does this make you feel?� and proceeded asked her to marry him, which of course she said YES! After they initially considered Princeton as their wedding location, the couple came out to Colorado to visit Abril�s parents last fall and were blown away by how beautiful the mountains were that time of year so after some consideration they couple couldn't imagine their wedding taking place anywhere else. Before the wedding the father of the bride and the groom gathered aspen leaves from in the woods, which they put into individual tulle bags for each guest at the ceremony. The reverend asked that everyone take their leaves and imbue them with their hopes and wishes for the couples marriage before tossing them into the air as they walked back down the aisle as husband and wife. "It was incredible to see and feel the cascade of bright yellow aspen leaves and know that they were filled with our friends' and families' love and joy. "
