Cat and Hannah Marie’s wedding at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe was everything they dreamed of and more. Romantic, emotional, and full of vibrant PINK energy.

For both brides, the ceremony was one of the most meaningful parts of the day. While they had been nervous leading up to it, it turned out to be better than they could have ever imagined. Dreamy, emotional, and full of love.

One of the most touching parts of their celebration was how Cat’s late mom, Debra, was honored throughout the weekend. From flowers lovingly placed in her ceremony seat, to the jewelry Cat wore at both the welcome party and the wedding day, Debra’s presence was felt deeply. Her memory was woven into the stories, details, and energy of the day, making it feel as if she was celebrating right alongside them.

Their love story is rooted in serendipity. They first met during Denver Pride in 2022 and have been inseparable since. Together, they share a love for travel, live music, skiing and snowboarding, and adventures with their pup, Luke. Lake Tahoe also holds an especially deep meaning for them, as they previously visited to celebrate the life of HM’s late brother. Choosing it as their wedding destination felt like everything aligned perfectly.

Their best advice to couples planning a wedding? Stay centered with your partner and trust your planner. They credit their planner, Nikki, as being “worth more than her weight in gold,” making the logistics, details, and Tahoe charm come together seamlessly. By focusing on each other and surrounding themselves with trusted vendors, Cat and Hannah Marie were able to stay fully present and enjoy every second.

After the wedding, Cat and HM set off on a two-week road trip honeymoon with their dog, Luke. They explored the Northern California coast, Oregon, Boise, and Park City, savoring time outdoors, delicious dinners, and intentional moments together before heading back into everyday life. They wrapped up the trip with a concert by their favorite band, Goose, a perfect finale! And in the future, they’re already dreaming up a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Asia, with plans to explore Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea.

The reception was nothing short of iconic. Their band kept the dance floor packed all night long, and one of the best highlights was Cat and Hannah Marie on stage, singing Pink Pony Club with their guests cheering them on. From start to finish, the night was a reflection of joy, connection, and community.

“Just a big thank you to all of our friends and family for traveling to celebrate with us. They really showed up and partied with us, and we couldn’t be more thankful!”
