Real Wedding: Oheka Castle
|

"Friends joke that we’re the 'Green Acres' couple. Chris is from the Colorado mountains and I’m a New Yorker. Choosing a wedding site could have been tricky, but once we set foot on the breathtaking grounds of Oheka Castle, we knew it was the perfect spot.

"As a little girl, I could see the top of the castle from my school bus stop. And when we called the castle to inquire about weddings, the phone number was very familiar — it was the old number from the house I grew up in. It was kismet.

"Not every moment unfolded in fairy tale fashion. Aiming for that perfect wedding day glow, I unknowingly put sunblock with a tan accelerator on my upper lip and gave myself a mustache, with the big day just three weeks away!
"While parallel parking at the florist, I smashed our car window against the side mirror of the florist’s van. (Our flowers were still magnificent.)
"Then, at my final fitting four days before the wedding, the seamstress cut her finger and bled all over the front of my dress! (Don’t worry, after 20 long minutes it was ecru once again.)
"Add to that a week of thunderstorms, cancelled flights, lost luggage with groomsmen’s tuxes, trust me, a sense of humor goes a long way.
"Thankfully, we had a fairy tale wedding. The sun set over our ceremony in Oheka’s gardens. No one left the dance floor, except to enjoy the delectable food, and at night’s end a full moon rose over the castle filled with family and friends."
