Two families. One hundred seventy three guests. A Catholic ceremony in the heart of Crested Butte and a reception on a mountain property in Almont where the whole weekend came together.
Maddie and Ethan connected the moment they met, and they have been happily enamored with each other ever since. Even after some hard seasons in the last few years, what stands out most about them is a joyful, loving relationship that makes everyone around them feel at home.
Their wedding day was joyful, loving, and traditional, with a lot of laughs along the way. Maddie’s dad toasted his only daughter and welcomed Ethan to the family. Ethan’s family and Maddie’s family stood beside them at the altar. And Maddie said it best herself, that she is so grateful to be standing there married to her best friend.
