Wedding Blog

Hello!!! I am Miss Cookie and I am super-duper excited to be a bee! I was bouncing off the walls when I got the news at work, and I am so honored to be a part of the hive. Ever since I found out about Weddingbee, I’ve been an avid daily reader. I can’t wait to share with you all our crazy adventures in planning our nuptials, and I hope that I can be as much inspiration to you as Weddingbee has been to me. We have t-minus four and a half months until the big day, so hold onto your seats because I’ve got a lot of wedding planning stories to share!

First, let me tell you a little about how Mr. Cookie and I met. We have been together for a year and half, and we will get married two years after we met and almost a year (only off by a day) after Mr. Cookie proposed to me in Paris - stay tuned for that story. Ironically, we met at a wedding of two of our good friends. The night of the wedding, Mr. Cookie and I danced the night away and talked well into the wee hours of the morning — before I had to catch a 6 AM flight back to Washington DC. Although, I had lived in Colorado for several years, two weeks prior to the wedding, I moved to DC for a theatre job. The moment I got back to DC, I emailed Mr. Cookie, and thus began our long distance relationship.

Being in a long distance relationship with Mr. Cookie meant a lot of sleepless nights on the phone and thousands of frequent flyer miles. I hated being apart from Mr. Cookie, but the hours and hours on the phone built our relationship on a foundation of honest, open communication, which both of us agree is our strongest asset. During those conversations, we also realized that we lived a mile away from one another back in Colorado. We probably brushed past one another a million times at the grocery store, coffee shop, or the movies and never even knew it. Six months into our relationship I decided to quit my job in DC, and move back to Colorado to be with Mr. Cookie. Now, we live in a cozy abode with our adorable Pomeranian, Lyla.

I chose Miss Cookie for two reasons: 1. I love to cook, especially chocolate chip cookies and 2. Mr. Cookie loves to eat. Also, Mr. Cookie and I have a bit of a sweet tooth! Not only do we love good food, but we love to watch movies, play board games, and travel!

Mr. Cookie and I are getting married at 10,234 feet above sea level in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. We found this amazing location for our wedding in Breckenridge, Colorado called Ten Mile Station. Situated on the ski hill, it has a panoramic view of the Ten Mile Mountain Range for not only our ceremony, but reception as well. It reminds me of the mountains back home in Montana. I can’t think of a more romantic place to share with our friends and families the deep love that Mr. Cookie and I share. Overall, I want us to look back years from now and remember how much our wedding was an expression of our love.

So, that’s us! I’m excited to share the next few months of our engagement with you! Let the wedding planning stories begin!
