The Falls Event Center is becoming a premier wedding venue With a Rocky Mountain backdrop, and the option of catering from the restaurant where you had your first date, The Falls Event Center offers fantastic perks for any couple’s wedding day. JULIE TAYLOR/SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

At over 12,000 square feet, the Littleton venue is 15 minutes from Denver, making it accessible to guests flying in for the big day, allowing them to easily skirt around the city. Cindy Shoemaker, the general manager at The Falls, said one of the main attractions is their open vendor policy. An open vendor policy means that couples can choose details like photographers, videographers and catering, event from food trucks to homemade dishes. Besides bar service, the bride and groom have unlimited options. “Everything else is your vision; anything and everyone you want to have,” Shoemaker said. “Little man ice cream brought their trailer down here, Illegal pete’s, and Cranellis Italian, in Lone Tree, are here quite a bit as well.

The food trucks are fun, and I really liked when we had groups bring in food from different restaurants and set up food stations.” When it’s not a professional company providing the food, Shoemaker said some couples, especially those with rich cultural backgrounds, opt to bring in homemade food. “A lot of weddings are not using caterers, but the family is cooking food from their heritage. We’ve done some Indian weddings, Persian, Polish, African and Asian,” Shoemaker said. “We have a lot of Hispanic weddings here as well. I love seeing all the different nationalities and different menus come through the door.” If the thought of cooking for up to 320 guests it too daunting, Shoemaker can offer suggestions to help the couple through their decisions.

“We have a vendor recommendation list. It’s all the vendors we have worked with, all people who have worked in the building, and we know they’ll come in and take care of our clients,” she said. Aside from the open vendor policy and location, couples flock to The Falls for the view and atmosphere. “When you’re out on the courtyard, it’s facing west,” she said. “So you have a close-to-full panoramic view of the mountains and can watch the sun set.” While watching the sun dip behind the peaks, guests are surrounded by The Falls signature waterfalls on the courtyard.

The practical business aspects of the first year of marriage PAM PECCOLO/SPECIAL TO CCM

Going beyond the wedding day, experts agree that young couples must be honest about their financial situation, must come together to make important decisions on housing, and must know where important paperwork is kept. SHUTTERSTOCK

Nothing in life matches the thrill of wedding planning, with its endless array of choices for dresses and tuxes, festoons of flowers, music, beverages, cakes, and honeymoon destination. However, after the wedding, responsibilities are consolidated and obligations that were once “yours” or “mine”, become “ours.” Though wonderfully romantic, the first year together can be stressful as two unique people begin to build their lives together. Here are a few suggestions from experts on how to address some of the “business” aspects of your wedded relationship. Be honest about your financial history Owing money to Uncle Same, credit card companies or your college can be an obligation you’ll now take on together. When you marry, your assets and debts are combined. This can be a challenge if the issue is not discussed before marriage, particularly if one partner has a high credit score, but the other doesn’t. “One of the best things a soon-tobe married couple can do is know your partner’s financial history,” said LeAnne Merciez, a loan officer with Universal Lending in Greenwood Village. “You need to understand their debt history and their wealth. And you need to understand your own financial history.” Merciez said she frequently sees couples who don’t know the other person’s credit score, or understand what a credit score is. “I’ve had couples come in my office where one has a 500 credit score, the other has 800 and it’s the first time they’re learning this information and they find out they can’t qualify for a house,” she said. As a standard for all financial professionals, we have to take the lowest credit score of both borrowers. Understanding this fundamental information is important for planning a future together.” The Colorado housing market is highly competitive and as a result, homes are on the market for a short window of time. To understand the benefits of renting or owning a property, talk to a mortgage banker. Based on your financial needs and goals, a mortgage banker can help you determine whether renting makes sense, or if you can afford to purchase a home and begin to build value through real estate ownership. Save money by consolidating insurance plans: For a positive impact on your car insurance rates, be sure to get a quote as a married couple to find out how much you may save. Typically, men find they have an improved car insurance rate when they marry. Also, be sure to find out the benefits of rental

or home-owners insurance, based on your needs. Consider life insurance to prepare for the unexpected: Holly Mullins, a Farmers Insurance agent in Aurora, says employer-provided insurance policies are positive benefits, but they’re more like “renting” an insurance plan. “The company can take it away at any time and if you lose a job, your employer-provided policy doesn’t go with you,” says Mullins. If you are planning to purchase property together, another option is to purchase an insurance policy outside of work. “If you are getting married and it takes both incomes to meet your mortgage, and something critical happens to one of you, your loved one will then have the responsibility for the whole mortgage,” said Mullins. Be transparent about your dreams, goals and skeletons: To get on the “same page” early in marriage, be forthcoming and transparent about your financial obligations, as well as your dreams, goals and mistakes. “Have a conversation about your hopes and goals for the future,” said Wendi Strom, a financial advisor with Lotus Financial Partners in Denver. Create a system for finding your combined hard copy and digital assets: It’s not fun, but it is important to protect your combined assets, and know how to access to them, by creating a system for finding where information is located. “I’ve had clients who haven’t been able to access their spouse’s military benefits because they couldn’t find a card or document,” said Strom. “Knowing the location of your shared information can save precious time in an emergency.”

Couples should have combined knowledge of where the following documents are located: • •

Insurance plans List of family and emergency contacts

• • • • •

Estate documents — will, living will, power of attorney Military discharge papers, birth certificates, marriage certificate Social Security cards, passports Digital logins and passwords Bills that are paid online

Experts at Highlands Ranch Travel know that after couples say, “I do,” they are ready to travel to not just romantic, but also unique locations. PHOTOS COURTESY OF HIGHLANDS RANCH TRAVEL AGENCY

Experts say honeymoons are becoming less traditional, more unique JULIE TAYLOR/SPECIAL TO CCM

The top 10 list for romantic vacations are outdated as today’s honeymooners turn toward tangible experiences. Linda Eyer, who has been a travel consultant at Highland’s Ranch Travel Agency for 17 years, has seen the trend come in hot and heavy. Eyer said millennials, in particular, seem eager to explore every nook of the world. Some want to visit the more obvious spots, such Hawaii, St. Lucia or Antigua, but there is a rise in unique travel. As an example, Eyer said she has seen couples honeymoon in the village where ‘The Hobbit’ was filmed in New Zealand. “A honeymoon isn’t necessarily going to a tropical beach and drinking Mai Tais for a week,” Eyer said. “It can be anything they want.” Some couples want to see the northern lights, and others want to cruise the Amazon River, or go to temple in Nepal for a blessing on their union. Another major shift in the industry is how the expenses are handled. Instead of the honeymoon being the new couple’s only extreme vacation, it has become a single tick on their long bucket list. “Money doesn’t seem to be playing a huge part of it, because a lot of them don’t look at

it as a once in a lifetime, huge expense,” she said. The other change that Eyer has noticed is how the newlyweds want more experiences in their travels. “Not everyone wants a helicopter tour over an Italian vineyard, some want Disney,” she said. “We want the experience to be about them and what they want.” These days, Eyer’s clients want a memorable experience, and are willing to pay for that on more than just a single special occasion. “They want the experience, not the money. I think what we’re seeing is a whole evolution of travel,” she said. Highlands Ranch Travel Agency has offered full-service travel guidance for more than 30 years, making it the second-oldest business in Highland’s Ranch. All of their agents have a wealth of experience, and each one offers a specialty. Eyer said she always starts each consultation with a lot of questions, and ends with a personalized vacation. “We do try to personalize the travel experience to what the person wants, not just a packaged trip,” Eyer said. For more information on booking a honeymoon, vacation or special trip, visit the Highlands Ranch Travel website at www. highlandsranchtravel.com.

Honeymoon trends continue to change from a romantic setting to something more cultural for couples. PHOTOS COURTESY OF HIGHLANDS RANCH TRAVEL AGENCY

A proposal over Dracula Ballet

An unexpected proposal over ‘60 minutes’ and before ‘Golden Girls’

Cheyanne Cooper

Carolyn Grinier

We were going on 8 years and I was very impatiently waiting. We had been through so much and are high school sweet hearts. He took me to see The Dracula Ballet. I love ballet. I always wanted to be a dancer. After the ballet was over, he asked me if I wanted to take a picture together, which caught me off guard because he hates taking pictures. I was confused because he was standing 3 feet away from me, and I couldn’t get him to come closer. When I looked over at him to see why he wouldn’t come closer he was down on one knee. There were hundreds of people around us because we were right outside the Elle Caukins Opera House and several shows were letting out at the same time. This was so exciting and overwhelming!

It was after 60 Minutes, and just before The Golden Globes, when Dennis came to sit with me on the couch. “Are you awake?,” he asked. “Sure.” I said. (60 Minutes wasn’t that compelling that Sunday and I might have dozed off.) He said, “I want to get married. Will you marry me?” We’d known each other for three years and loved living together for a year and a half. We own our home jointly, and share concerns and joys about our kids and grandkids. We are well into the fourth half of our lives and had both have been married twice before. I bragged often that this relationship feels so solid and is so fun just as it is that I didn’t need to get married. Now here he was out of the blue, looking like someone’s grandpa, looking like my prince and adorable. All I could think of was, “What can I possibly wear at 75 at my third wedding?”; And I said it out loud too. He laughed as he usually does at some of the things I say. Oh, and then I said, “Yes”

A chilly proposal

Proposal by seashell

Camillie Pfaff

Lesley McDonald

Lonnie and I met in Phoenix while attending college at Grand Canyon University, but we both grew up in Colorado. We were driving back home for winter break, and as we were passing through Silverthorne, Lonnie pulled into an area that we always love to stop in. It was about 5:30 a.m., and was a frigid 4 degrees. He suggested we stop at Starbucks to get a hot coffee, so I agreed and afterwards we pulled into a parking spot next to our favorite bridge in town that crosses the river. He then suggested that we let our coffee cool off by going outside. We scurried over to the bridge, both shivering and shaking our coffee cups. He then proceeded to say, “Camille, I want to spend the rest of my life with you...”, but before he could get the rest out, he then suggested we go back to the car because of how cold it was. Although I was a little confused at this point, trying to figure out what his next move was, I went along with it. After getting back in the car, I asked if we were going to continue our drive, in which he replied that there was a question that he wanted to ask me. He pulled the ring out of his pocket, and asked me to marry him. I said yes, of course, after I was able to wipe my tears of pure joy away. I found out that he decided not to propose on the bridge because he was afraid to drop the ring in the river. Despite everything, it was the perfect proposal and the intimacy made it one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

Jason and I decided to get both of our families together for a fun beach day. When I arrived with my parents, he met us in the parking lot and came up with this story about how difficult parking was, and offered to hop in the car with my dad to help out while my mom and I found our way down to the beach. Little did I know, he took this opportunity to ask for my dad’s permission. After we all got settled at the beach, Jason asked if I wanted to take a double-seat kayak out on the water. Jason and I both love to be out on the water and we often went paddle boarding and searching for shells and shark teeth while living in Florida, so I of course agreed to go with. Once we got out to the sand bar, Jason put his mask on and dove into the water. The water was a bit chilly, so I opted to stay on the kayak for a few minutes before jumping in. Jason popped his head up and mentioned how many awesome shells were down there. I excitedly told him to go find some and bring them up to the kayak. Jason dove down and swam back up to the surface holding this beautiful clam shell. When he placed it on the kayak next to where I was sitting, I thought it was still alive. I said to him, “I think there’s something in it.” As Jason opened up the clam shell, I saw the beautiful ring inside. Still treading water and fighting his nerves, he asked, “Will you marry me?”

Engagement Stories A proposal with an assist from Rick Springfield

A proposal by dachshund

Keilani Porter

Lindsay Renkel My now-fiance, Keith, and I had just spent a wonderful evening with friends at a fall festival when two of them abruptly, and randomly, announced they needed to leave. At that point, Keith suggested we head home ourselves. It seemed quite early to be heading home, but I agreed. Upon our arrival home, Keith rushed in the house and I slowly made my way through the door. As I walked in, I could not believe my eyes. Rose petals and lit candles lined the path from the garage into our living room, which was completely decked out with candles, balloons, flowers, and other beautiful adornments. Meanwhile, as I was processing how these decorations got into our house, asking myself, ‘Did Keith disappear at some point tonight?’ and trying to determine what exactly was going on, Keith got our beloved dachshund, Levi, from his crate and told me Levi had something to ask me. I looked down at Levi to discover him wearing a custom-made sweater. which said, &”Will you marry my dad?” That’s when Keith got down on one knee and proposed! Of course, I said “Yes!” Come to find out, our friends were in on the plan, which is why they left early, and Keith had enlisted the help of a coworker to decorate the house and get Levi dressed in his sweater while we were away. I also discovered afterward that Keith had been so excited that in order to avoid spilling the beans to me, he had told many people of his plans, including the front desk guy at the gym. And no one ever slipped up. I was completely oblivious to what was going on! Incorporating Levi was the icing on the cake, because he is so special to both Keith and me.

Jesse and I were on vacation in my favorite city, New Orleans, belatedly celebrating my 21st birthday. We were exploring the French Quarter, and when we got to the Saint Louis Cathedral, he asked my dad to take a picture of us out front. Once the picture was taken, Jesse looked at me and said, “I wrote you something.” He read me this beautiful piece he wrote comparing myself and our relationship to elements of the Earth. My dad recorded the whole thing and caught the tears of excitement I shed when Jesse got down on one knee and presented to me my dream ring. Once we left the cathedral, we headed straight to this bar on Bourbon Street where Jesse had set up with the band to sing, ‘Jessie’s Girl’ to me upon our arrival. When we arrived, the band stopped their set and pulled me up to the stage. They announce I was a really life Jesse’s girl, and we had just gotten engaged. The bar-goers all danced around me as the band played, ‘Jessie’s Girl’.

A proposal by mini-adventure Teresa Dinh He said, “I’m a simple guy who enjoys adventures, so I would love to share them with you. What do you say?” I took a leap and said, “Sure, I would love to take a mini-adventure with you.” The mini-adventure started with just one detail: the time. All else, including location and events, were hidden. Multiple mini-adventures later, I discovered the simple childlike wonders of life again. One Sunday after church, a mini-adventure changed our lives. Jorge took me to 16th Street Mall. While passing D&F Clock Tower, a lady came out of the tower and asked Jorge: “Hey, are you James?” He said no. She said, “Oh! That’s too bad. James reserved a tour, but he didn’t show up. Would you like the tour instead? I looked at Jorge and shrugged, “why not?” The lady took us to the top floor and left. Weird, I thought, as old Jazz music played in the air. The place was nicely decorated with flowers, candles, chocolates, and even champagne. I told Jorge, “The skyscraper you’re working on across the street looks pretty at sunset, let’s take photos.” We took selfies everywhere. A beautiful dinner was on a table. “I’m hungry, let’s eat it,” he said. I responded, “We can’t, this is other people’s food.” When Jorge brought out my favorite bottle from Castello Di Amoroso out of nowhere, I gave in and ate James’ food. After eating, we danced. Then our song came on, ‘I Knew I Loved You’ by Savage Garden. I came to realization this wasn’t James’ event. Jorge kneeled down with a ring and asked me to take a grand adventure with him in marriage. My reaction was peaceful and calm, “Yes, honey, yes.” Jorge was probably expecting excitement, but his thoughtful mini-adventures made me immune to the element of surprise.
