Paige Mesicek

Did you know in the state of Colorado you can marry yourselves? No officiant, no witnesses, and no going over budget! Simply choose a trail, share some vows, and remember the most epic adventure for the rest of your lives! Be sure to pick up a marriage certificate from any city hall nearby (apply ahead of time!) and hit the trails! The best part? Since no witnesses are required, your pup can sign your marriage license! Ours did! #romantic

      I am bias to this location, of course. However, after months of searching, I stumbled upon this trail that had the exact backdrops we were looking for! At first, you start out in a beautiful open field with epic mountain views, then you journey through an old spruce forest until you reach the most beautiful gulch lined with old cabins. I promise you won't regret this choice! It was even easy for a few of our family members to hike (even our grandparents!)

This trail is minutes away from downtown Breck –I recommend Woodland Breckenridge for your bouquets and boutonniere! They even made my pup a flower collar :)
