The day after our wedding we went up to Wolf Creek for a couple of days. It was glorious to leave the hectic clutter of our lives-surrounding-a-major-event behind in exchange for a fireplace, an incredible (snowy!) view, and a soak in the hot tub.
While on our "mini-moon" as we affectionately refer to it, we took along some Dove brand dark chocolates. The pearls of (sometimes cheesey, sometimes inaccurate) wisdom encased in red and silver foil wrappers were fun and we wanted to share them. This wisdom was made truer and sweeter because it held chocolate treasure. We love when tea companies have pearls of wisdom on the tea bag tag. It's the same sort of thing. These pearls had names and cities under them, which made us think that people must have submitted them in some sort of contest to have their favorite saying wrapped around Dove chocolate.
"Celebrate the small victories in your life."
"Dare to dream, and go for it!"
"Keep moving forward, don't look back."
"Don't stress - think, and this too shall pass."
"Here's to something more powerful than chocolate: hope."
"If you fall down 7 times, get up 8." (Really? How can you get up one more time than you've fallen? Wouldn't you already be up?)
"Always follow your heart - it's never wrong."
"Sing out loud! Who cares what you sound like?"
"Treating yourself is never wrong." (We would add, treating yourself well...)
"Happiness is one bite away."
"Accentuate the positive."
"Try something new today."
Though now it seems silly to have spent the time typing these, they were a lot of fun on our mini-moon. Some led to conversations, others to taking a bite out of happiness. As our friend and flower pixie said to Lisa a few years ago, "Enjoy!"
Welcome & Thank You!

Our Ecological Intent
We are using our wedding as a canvas for co-creation.
As a public showcase for the talents of the beautiful people and businesses we believe in.
As a networking tool to bring together the amazing people in our lives who don't yet know each other.
As a vehicle to recycle the resources of our community.
As an opportunity to practice asking for what we need and giving others the chance to share love in its highest form: Service.
As an example for ourselves, our children and our community that ecologically friendly can be less expensive and exquisitely beautiful.
