We have been keeping this a secret until we had a chance to surprise Erika and Michael but the cat is finally out of the bag. The historic Brown Palace hotel in downtown Denver has generously donated a fabulous mini-honeymoon package for the two of them.
The highlights of their stay include two nights lodging and Ellyngton's renowned champagne brunch which boasts lavish buffet tables featuring their culinarian's best, including artful and delicious offerings from the hotel's own bakery.

We just recently celebrated our 2nd anniversary and have to admit that we love married life. We are great complements to each other and make a great team. The love we share for each other grows every day. It feels like we can conquer anything together and it’s exciting to think about what the future holds for us.
The most exciting prospect for us right now is the birth of our first child. We are expecting a baby boy in August. It’s hard to describe our state of mind right now with a baby on the way. It’s a mix of joy, excitement, uncertainty, humility, a little fear of the unknown, but it’s all good. We’re both looking forward to raising this little guy. Melissa can’t wait to have a new little man in the house and Jeff’s looking forward to teaching him how to play ball.
We are ever grateful to The Wedding Pink by Cheryl Ungar Gives for getting our married lives together started in such a grand way. Melissa’s bout with cancer was a challenging time, and the Wedding Pink was an uplifting experience during an otherwise disheartening time. We think back to our wedding day often and have such fond memories of it.

I hope that everyone is not getting too tired of all of the recent videos. It is simply that I have been blessed this week with two different tv appearances. Here is an iPhone video from the studio this morning. I should have the actual tv version soon which includes some photos and videos from Melissa and Jeff's wedding, and certainly better audio.
Last night Channel 7 news in Denver aired a wonderful story about The Wedding Pink. I am overwhelmed by all of this as just over a year ago The Wedding Pink was merely a vision of mine.
Additionally, I would like to thank Jennie Castor of Channel 7 for the countless hours that she put into producing this story.
In case you missed it, you can see it here on Channel 7's website,

I have a feeling that many of you are anxious to see a few photos from The Wedding Pink so I have pulled a few of my favorites. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of the wonderful day we had. Please bear with me, there are close to 3000 images to edit so it may take a week or two. Eventually I will post a full gallery of images on this site, so stay tuned.
Also, a huge thank you to Laura Dombrowski Photography and Weinrauch Photography for helping me capture the memories of the day.
