I married my partner in Colorado. The only witnesses were the wind and our photographer.

My longtime soulmate and I promised each other forever at a 7,000-foot overlook in the Rockies in 2024. There were no guests or officiant, just our photographer and the wind as unofficial witnesses. In a half-hour photo session, we exchanged rings and handwritten vows from a pocket notebook, and tried to look natural for the camera - all while making sure we didn't tumble off the edge in high winds. We picked Colorado for its unique marriage laws, allowing couples to self-solemnize independently.
