How did you meet each other? We met working at an outdoor science school in the woods of Southern California.

What was the best memory of your wedding day? This is really hard, getting married was absolutely amazing. Dan's favorite memory was just after the ceremony was done and we were officially married. Well that, or getting lifted in the chairs. Michelle's favorite memory was sitting down for dinner together, looking around and seeing all of our friends and family. But really the whole day was unforgettable.

What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day? Don't worry about the food too much, your not going to eat it. The people you invited, your friends and family, are the most important part of the wedding day.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?  Where did you stay and what were a couple activities you enjoyed.  Would you recommend to other couples?

We went to Kauai, Maui, Oahu, and the Big Island of Hawaii.  The whole trip was amazing, but the highlights included snorkeling, whale watching, a helicopter tour, mountain biking down a 11,000 foot volcano, driving convertibles, seeing the glow of lava at night, and just general hiking and exploring the beaches and jungle.

We also went to the South island of New Zealand where we kayaked, saw dolphins jump and fur seals play, saw numerous glaciers and fjords, went backpacking, canyoneering, mountain biking, caving, and wine and beer tasting.

We stayed mostly in vacation rentals in Hawaii and then rented a campervan for New Zealand. Definitely would recommend both places for a honeymoon

How did you meet each other? Nick was looking for a place to live and answered an ad for a room for rent where Christina was living. The first time Nick and Christina met each other was when he went to look at the place. Christina was smitten, and obviously things worked out!

What was the best memory of your wedding day? Nick's best memory is their first dance, to "The Night is Young and You're So Beautiful", from the movie, Robin Hood Men in Tights. Christina's best memory is her Dad walking her down the aisle, with Nick waiting for her at the altar.

What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day? Elope! Just kidding, try to enjoy the planning because it goes by quickly. Don't worry about the details on your wedding day. What's most important is the two of you, surrounded by your family and friends.

Where did you go on your honeymoon? We're still planning the honeymoon, and we look forward to relaxing on a warm beach this spring to escape the Colorado winter.

How did you meet each other?

We met as biology lab partners in high school, and rekindled a friendship when we took a bunch of Spanish classes together in college, but we didn't start dating until we were both out of college and living and teaching in Colorado Springs.

What was your favorite memory from your wedding day?

We didn't do a first look, so seeing each other for the first time at the altar was a wonderful and emotional moment.

Do you have any advice for future couples?

Remember that this day is about making a lifelong commitment to each other, and even if something "goes wrong" or doesn't work out as you planned, it won't be a big deal on the day. You will be so happy and so excited that you probably won't care about that one little detail. Enjoy the day, and try to take it all in. And make sure you put someone responsible in charge of keeping track of all the groomsmen's clothes so you aren't searching for pants 20 minutes before the ceremony.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?  What activities did you do?

We began our honeymoon in Newport, Rhode Island at the Castle Hill Inn for a couple nights, and then visited Plymouth, Concord, Boston, and Salem, Massachusetts. We relaxed, rode bikes along the cliffside, golfed twice, enjoyed local 'chowda,' lobster, and other treats at great local restaurants, enjoyed a harbor cruise in Salem, visited Orchard House, Walden Pond, and Author's Row, and had a wonderful time. We loved having a non-traditional honeymoon, and we think that a New England honeymoon in the fall was just delightful. The weather was perfectly cool, so we could enjoy spending time in a cozy hotel room with the fire burning in the fireplace, and it was pleasant to walk around town to see the sights.
