Real Gay Wedding at Mile High Station Denver, Colorado: Karen and Jacynda

Karen and Jacynda got married at the Mile High Station in Denver Colorado which I now want to go to because the venue is so breathtaking! It’s big enough to have a giant hora dance and get killer shots of it.

Our day began as we arrived at Mile High Station in Denver, CO to greet our immediate family and wedding party. We got ready in separate spaces. We then shared a private moment when we saw each other for the first time in our dresses. After that, we again joined our immediate family and wedding party for pictures. While we waited in the mezzanine level above, our attendants and the children in our wedding party walked down the aisle. We each had two attendants stand up for us and we also had two flower girls and a ring bearer. After our attendants were in place, we walked down staircases on opposite sides of the room to meet our parents at the bottom. We walked together with both of our parents up the two aisles in the midst of our guests. Our officiant called everyone together and walked us through the various parts of our ceremony including a knot tying ceremony, vows, and ring exchange. At the conclusion of the ceremony, we exited to take photos together. Our guests went directly to the mezzanine area for cocktail hour.

When our photos were finished, we went back to the mezzanine area. Our guests had already been escorted back to the main level and seated for dinner. We made our entrance to the reception down one of the staircases. We immediately danced the Horah. After this it was on to speeches and dinner. The cake was cut and we danced the rest of the night away!

During our ceremony we added several elements to make it ours. First, we walked down the aisles at the same time and met in the middle in front of our guests. This was meant show everyone that we were coming from our own spaces to meet in a common place to move forward together. We also wrote our own vows. We performed a knot tying ceremony to express our joining together in a very tangible way. Our ceremony held the theme of coming together as one.

We have different moments that stand out for the same reasons. I recall us kissing and turning to all of our loved ones at the end of the ceremony while “Here Comes the Sun” began to play. Jacynda remembers coming down the stairs into our reception full of our most important people as “Let My Love Open the Door” filled the room. Having the people we love with us and music that was meaningful to us both made up our favorite moments.
