Talk about a heartfelt day! Megan and Clare got married at Burgdorf Hot Springs and the emotions ran deep. Any local knows a favorite rustic hotel is Burgdorf. Set in an old mining town in Payette National Forest, it’s only accessible by snowmobile in winter so it’s a super fun destination for those of us who seek out adventure!
Preparations took place in one of the historic cabins called the White House. Clare had made her own gorgeous dress and it was exciting to see photos of her progress. With flower petals and tea lights their mothers scattered on the bed, these two remained calm and grounded in the little cabin. It was truly special.
Prior to the ceremony, they went to a field behind the cabin and read letters they’d written to one another This intentional and very simple, yet private exchange served as a good reminder to savor every minute of this day. And breathe. Their time spent focused on another was super touching - even I was crying with them! It was extremely touching and emotional.
Once the wedding kicked in, things moved quickly. Vows were exchanged, the live music began and the celebrations went full-swing. There were games for young and old, dogs (and goats!) ran free, the bonfires were lit and life was sweet! As they danced together with family and friends through the warm summer night, family and friends soaked in the hot springs until the late hours, under a dark sky full of bright stars, lit by the light of the moon…. 🌙
