Moore Fun at Ryan and Ali's Colorado Open House!

The wedding festivities have finally come to a close for Ryan and Ali. We had the last big bash here at our home in Longmont on Saturday, August 30th. The weather held out and it was a beautiful evening! We held it in our backyard and with the help of many loved ones and dear friends we transformed the yard into a lovely reception garden! Enjoy some of the pictures from this beautiful evening..............


This is Ali's cousin's little daughter Chloe. She was adorable and absolutely loved our pets!

I've been accused in the past of being the twinkle light queen (goes back to my YW days)! I must say you can never have enough twinkle!
For the food, we did some of Ryan and Ali's favorite treats. Ryan wanted Chocolate Chip Cookies and milk! Ali suggested Cheese Balls with crackers, little cheesecakes, and fresh fruit! It was all very yummy and beautifully presented!

We were blessed to have my mom join us for the weekend. She enjoyed seeing family and old friends very much.



Me and my girl!

Eric and Hannah are always a nice addition to any party! They are so helpful and fun to be with.


We had some out of town guests--here are Mikes brother David's daughter, Erin Moore, and her boyfriend, Eric Williams.

Ali's parents, her brother, Brady, and a couple of her cousins came as well! What a fun group we had!

Mike's brother, David and his wonderful wife, Viera. We enjoyed them so much!

Tyler's best friend from high school, Tyler Albert, couldn't make the open house, but stopped by the next day to wish our happy couple his best!




Well, after all is said and done, I think we all done good!! Ryan and Ali are off to a wonderful start and we've made some great new friends! Ali's parents and family are awesome people and we look forward to some great times with them in the future!
