A Very Merry Un-Wedding

Kyle and Leah celebrated their love with a weekend union, an un-wedding if you will, instead of a traditional ceremony, at Wilbur Hot Springs. They had all of the details covered, including personalized signs reading, "Leah and Kyle Are Not Getting Married!" Guests pulled into the the secluded ranch nestled in the golden hills.

Since the union took place over three days, people relaxed, cooked meals from the community kitchen together, and even participated in morning yoga sessions coordinated by Kyle and taught by one of his good friends.

When it came time to go to the ceremony guests were encouraged to put on their bowties and suspenders and parade out to a grassy meadow also on Wilbur's property. The couple led the way up the dirt trail and walked in with their guests as everyone took a cozy seat under a large oak tree. There Kyle and Leah shared stories and personal writings about each other. Family and friends were encouraged to share as well.

There were countless other details, from Mason jars, personalized maps, and a guestbook of travels where people could sign in and suggest fun locales to the couple.
