A romance across the world, Luke & Tiffany met online and decided to take a chance on meeting in person. Taken enough with one another, they carried on much of their relationship virtually from Colorado (her home state) & New York, where she was a professional dancer in musical theater, and Australia, where he & his family resided. Their big day was so sweet because it marked the end of their long distance relationship and a new beginning for the both of them as they were moving to New Zealand right after.
Polished country chic, the details gushed of not only Tiffany & Luke’s relationship but the family & friends who love & support them. There were so many vibrant & beautiful examples of Tiffany’s many artistic talents with touches of Luke’s Australian heritage. The day was filled with hand-made sign art, bottle cap boutonnières, bowties in the bouquet & as napkins, a boomerang & Aussie hat, cowboy boot pinata monogrammed with an “L & T” for the kids, flower pitcher centerpieces with photos of their travels together & special verses, the perfectly executed first dance amidst bubbles blown by the guests, grandmother’s locket passed from Tiffany’s mother to her, the choreographed father-daughter dance that took us from Michael Jackson’s “Billy Jean” to N’sync’s “Bye Bye Bye,” hilarious maid of honor speech in which Luke was sworn in as the president of the Tiffany Lee fan club while donning a special bedazzled cap & shirt, & smore dessert bar. Plus, the incredible sunset & camels at beautiful Crooked Willow Farms!
But most of all it was such a joy to see the peace & relief in them finally being in one another’s arms, as husband & wife.
