- In today's video we are eloping in the mountains and looking for our first apartment together in Denver, Colorado. We wanted a small sustainable and zero waste wedding, also very minimalist, in the mountains and we felt this best suited our values and wants. Having a zero waste wedding or a minimalist wedding is also a lot easier than yo imagine. Using local vendors and stripping back to only the things that matter most to you!
We also looked for our first apartment together! We love Denver because it definitely has a sustainable community there, its right by nature and the mountains, is walkable and can bike around easily...it just seems like the right place for us!
If you haven't seen my decluttering series before moving check them out below! I've made a series of minimalism videos detailing how I was decluttering my whole life to move abroad, but today's video is slightly different. I take you through the whole process of packing and moving and some of the broken items that didn't make it!

I hope you enjoy today's video and let me know any questions or thoughts you have in the comments! Immy xx
I'm so excited and happy for you guys! I've loved living next to Denver for over 4 years, you're going to love it! (And all the vegan food 😋)
I too love Denver and Colorado in general! So many great places to go! For coffee, try Sweet Bloom, Huckleberry, and Pablo too. 😊
You should read Verity or it ends with us. both by Colleen Hoover. You won’t be able to stop listening, the suspense is real!! Congratulations🎉🎉
A beautiful and sustainable wedding. The photos are gorgeous! My only question is about family - how did your family feel about not being a part of the wedding? How did you all feel to not have anyone to celebrate with?
For a book. His & hers is the best thriller book I think I’ve ever listened to!
Congratulations on getting married ❤
Also I second that verity is an amazing thriller
You hike into the mountains with your bestie, both of you brimming with beauty, elegance, and charm… and you hike out with your husband. It must be true that everything we need can be found within ourselves. Immy, I know this took years of paperwork and emails, dreaming and planning, tears and heartache… but dang it all, if you two didn’t pull off a wedding day when everything came together amongst the Autumn hues and the snow-dusted peaks… just as you’d always hoped it would. It’s so incredible to see the trust and togetherness of two deserving people celebrated amidst the magic and the mystery of the mountains. What one imagines can become one’s reality!! Thank-you for exemplifying the power of love and the human spirit. I love it!! 💦🌎Ⓜary💕 PS - sorry to have missed the Premiere… I’m teaching today, but I was able to catch a quick glimpse and type in a comment in between sewing classes this morning. Looking forward to watching the entire video tonight.
Beautifully stated, Mary! ♥ I totally agree! They had the wedding of their dreams. ♥♥
@@jemma50 Thanks always Jemma for your kind words. I just love the undertones throughout this video of a fresh new life together in a place that offers so much that chimes with their lifestyle and their values. What a fabulous way to start a life together. Hope you are doing well, and thanks for saying Hi here today. Ⓜ️ary
@@marycharlebois6627 I love their way of getting married! I've been married twice and would never go for a big wedding again. A lovely commitment between the two of you sounds like the perfect way to begin your married - or just handfasted - life together. I was unaware that there are places where having your own wedding ceremony with just the two of you is legal. Fantastic!
Hope you are enjoying working part-time this year, Mary. Easing into retirement is a lovely way to go. Have a fabulous weekend! ♥
@@tamaram3758 WoW… Tamara, thank-you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to read my comment(s) which often are rather lengthy. You have just made my day!! Immy’s content is top shelf, she is definitely my favourite content creator. I expect you might find yourself binge watching her videos… what a great way to spend some quality time this weekend. I hope you love her videos as much as I do. I have contributed comments and interacted with this community on her channel for many years now. If you are interested, I will just say that you will see my comments on many of her videos. Once again, thank-you for being so thoughtful, I appreciate you!! Have a great upcoming weekend. Ⓜary💕🇨🇦
It sounds (and from the pictures, LOOKS) totally YOU and so lovely. The more people I see opt out of the Big Expensive Party wedding, the more permission I know a lot of us feel to bow out too! xxx
Watching the beginning of this brought tears to my eyes! Such a special intimate moment!!! So incredibly happy for the both of y’all!! Enjoy the beautiful weather!! 🥰
This is so profoundly beautiful - the aesthetic nature of course, but also the beauty of your souls and union is breathtaking. Wishing and sending positivity to the joyful and well-matched newlyweds!!!
Thank you! 😊
Congrats, Dear! ❤❤❤
Congratulations!! We also self solemnized near Fairplay, Colorado three weeks ago!! It was the best decision for us and so, so special. We used a GoPro instead of a photographer and the pics actually came out really well!
My favorite part was hiking in our outfits and being alone on the trail. Cheers to us! 💞🙏🏻
A fun little story about wedding bow ties that I’d like to share with you. Before my Mom passed away a few years ago my parents celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary with a small ceremony… and of course, cake! My Dad wore the red bow tie from his wedding suit which he has worn to many special occasions throughout their 60 years of marriage. (My Dad still fits into his wedding suit but a few moths have chewed on the pants and the zipper is a bit rusty.) That red bow tie is sooo special, and to me it is a small symbol of 60 years of love and commitment. I think when my Dad wears that dapper red bow tie he is filled with memories and he gets a little bit emotional when he thinks about all that has happened in his life since that special day when he first wore it. I am sharing this story with you Immy and partner because I hope your special bow tie, green with beautiful pheasants, will be a part of many years of memories and wonderful emotions. I hope you may one day celebrate 60 years of love and commitment. I know you are minimalists but I’d like to humbly suggest… always keep the bow tie. Thanks for reading this. Your video and the photos are incredibly beautiful. I got really emotional… thank-you for sharing your special day with us. 💦🌎Ⓜary💝
Awww....thank you for sharing your story! It's so special!
@@MySweetSammy Thanks for your little reply to the story of my Dad’s wedding bow tie. Your kind words mean a lot to me!! I hope you are having a great weekend. Ⓜ️ary
Congratulations! What a beautiful ceremony! And welcome to Colorado!
We did a happy-medium of a traditional wedding and a more elopement style. We had 30 guests and had a daytime ceremony and big dinner at a local pub which is licensed for weddings. We had a local registrar and I’m so pleased we got married close to our home then we can wander back through the parklands next to the pub, go back for food etc when we like; rather than it having been at a big country hotel or something.
I’m so happy you’re all official now! And what you described was so you guys. That’s wonderful you got to get married YOUR way. Many congrats to you both, I wish you both a long, healthy, and happy life together 🥰✌️🌳
thank you thank you!! Really appreciate your comments and I always love seeing you in the comments xxx
Just a thought, have you ever heard of Plantiful Kiki? She lives in Colorado and is vegan. She may be able to give you tips on the garden etc. She has a TH-cam channel.
Congratulations! You both looked lovely! And the scenery was stunning!😁
Congratulations! I loved the part of getting married somewhere new to the both of you. Such a beautiful sentiment❣️ Blessing on your marriage.✨
ahhh welcome to Denver! sure you've heard of city o'city already :) pearl street farmer's market on sunday mornings is my fave, too! safe travels.
Thanks so much for the tips!
Congratulations 🎉
I lived in Wyoming with my partner the first few years we were married…
We spent a lot of time around Denver, too.
10 years later we lived in Utah…
The West is incredible.
Soak it in…
Oh the photos were gorgeous! What a special moment.
Colorado!! 😀
Yes, that's how we got married in Colorado too. I think Colorado is one of only two states where you can do that! We chose a location in Rocky Mountain National Park for our very personal ceremony. No wedding dress or tux though.
Ah I bet that was absolutely STUNNING! I'm blown away by Colorado's beauty every single day.
Congratulation on your wedding! It looked so beautiful!
Such a beautiful bride. Congrats!
Immy, I love this so much. Congratulations to you both. I love Colorado so much and Denver even more. When you get the chance go to the botanical garden. It is acres of serenity and beauty. You will need the whole day b/c there is so much to take in. You are right about the food scene there. I tried so many different foods.
Ah thank you so much for the rec! We wanted to go but didn’t have time when we were there, so when we move we’ll definitely spend a whole day there!!
Love how you got married ❤. Congratulations to you both 💕💕. Myself and my hubby also got married low key just for ourselves. We didn't tell anyone we were going to do it (only witnesses as it was uk). The only new things we had were our rings and we obviously still have them😃, it was a wonderful stress free experience just for us, then we let everyone know when we got home that we would be down the pub in the evening if people would like to celebrate with us which many did and the landlord even layed on a small buffet😊. Simple is always best. Enjoy married life together ❤
Woo welcome to Denver! I’m a Michigander transplanted to Denver, hope you guys like it. I recommend vital root on Tennyson, and Denver Urban Gardens community gardens if you want a bit of affordable earth to grow on, and Denver Tool Library for borrowing tools!
I’ve been going through a rough patch and your content genuinely cheers me up, I think it’s because it’s so authentic and a breath of fresh air. Congratulations on your marriage 💍 p.s. you look gorgeous! Wedding goals for sure
Welcome to CO! I live in Louisville (just Southeast of Boulder) and have lived in CO for most of my life. You'll love it here!
i loveeeee CO so happy for you!!
Wowo thank you so much for sharing your special day with us. U both look absolutely beautiful ❤
Congratulations on getting married! The pictures are truly breathtaking 😍
Welcome to my home state and city! Congratulations love birds and the best of everything for your lives. The Colorado mountain are amazing any time of the year.
Congratulations!! Those crackers are Lesley Stowe Raincoast crisps and oh so amazing!
Congratulations!! May God bless your new life together! (A silly book recommendation that you might enjoy...we did on a trip all ages of kids and us too: 'Indian in the Cupboard', the reader was an English woman. We all listened with rapt attention. I read books aloud to my kids before they were born and continued until they were avid readers other own. Again, all the best!
Immy, that’s the nicest idea for a wedding and so in keeping with your values. Much happiness!
Colorado is amazing. I used to live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. One day I want to go back to Colorado!
Congratulations to you and your husband! Your private ceremony sounds absolutely perfect and so very special for the two of you. I'm 53 and went to high school in Grand Junction, CO. Colorado is so very majestic and beautiful. I've been vegan for 15 years, but when I lived in CO I wasn't so I can't recommend good places to try. But, I hope you find many lovely, yummy, fun, vegan restaurants and businesses in Denver, I'm sure since I lived in CO it's changed so much and has so many amazing things to do and see. I hope you absolutely LOVE living in Denver, and do try to travel all around the state to see some of the amazing beauty CO has to offer. The hot springs in Glenwood Springs are definitely worth a trip. And may I say, you were a vision of beauty on your wedding day... Cheers to the Newlyweds!
Congratulations on your marriage, and thank you for sharing your beautiful, extraordinary day! I am applauding your joyful news!
What a perfect location for your elopement. That sky! Wishing you both a long and happy future together.
Thank you so much!
Thank you sharing your wedding and your trip! Wonderful blessings!
I am so, so happy for you and your sweetie, Immy!! ♥♥ How delightful that you had your perfect wedding in a gorgeous place where you plan to begin your married lives together. Thank you so much for sharing this special time with all of us. Wishing you both so much joy! 💖💞💝
So happy for you! When you are back in the Denver area, try out the celestial seasonings tour in Boulder. The mint room is amazing.
Congrarulations 😍🥰 Im a bit late in seeing this but I actually also got married last year, same year that is just a bit earlier, in mid august. It was on our little farmstead, a country wedding with the ceremony in our garden and the reception in our big old barn ☺️ It was a true cottage core country side dream 😅🥰 I love that we did it here, and with all our families, especially since we are soon about to move from here (northern Scandinavia) to southernmost Europe. So happy to have that wedding as a memory of this beautiful place but heading for new adventures in the south. So making a similar move as you did very soon 😅 I hope you are very happy and wish you the very best on all uour adventures together in the future 😍🥰❤️🥂
I knew Colorado would call to you!!! It’s an incredible state. I lived in Fort Collins along the foothills for a year and it was the most magical thing ❤️
Colorado and Pennsylvania are the only two states in the US that allow self-uniting (self-solemnizing) wedding licenses. In PA it is a Quaker heritage thing, not sure why CO does it as well. My wedding was self-uniting in PA and we loved it, it felt affirming to say that we were choosing to get married, not being joined by some higher power or the state. Just our take on it, congrats on your marriage!
thanks for sharing, everything sounded so beautiful! best wishes and good luck with home-hunting! 💕😍
So Happy for You Both!!!💞 Felicidades!!! Welcome to the Mid-West❣️
Congratulations! ❤ Such a wonderful, exciting time. You were an absolutely stunning bride. Hope you are enjoying the U.S. and getting settled in.
Immy congratulations, dear. I have watched your content for years. I remembered when you talked about how both of you met, the years of long distance relationship and finally! I'm happy for you and your partner. Both of you looked gorgeous 🥰😍 ❤️
Thank you so much 😊its incredibly special to have so many of you come on this ride with us, and I really appreciate you for being here and a part of this community for so long!! xxx
@@SustainablyVegan yes! You're welcome! I'm getting emotional too watching this video 🥺
I'm all teary eyed. This is one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever seen. It's so special to get to peek inside your wedding day. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to get together in Colorado.
Welcome to Colorado love! Hope you love it here
I’ve been watching you for years and I was so excited to hear you were moving to Denver! I’ve lived here my whole life and I can’t wait to see all of the wonderful shops you find and share with the world! Congrats on your adorable elopement!
Congratulations on your marriage! Cheers to the new chapter of your life 🎉
Literally tearing up this entire video! So happy for you! I’m so impressed how everything came together so perfectly in a place you’d never been to before! 💛💛💛 I had no clue you could rent flowers, either! I bought my wedding dress used as well 💛
So lovely to see this come together for you after such a long process 💜 moving overseas is such a big change but seeing you look so settled (and happily married!) makes me feel you'll settle in quickly- congratulations to you both!
Congratulations!! You looked so beautiful, and the scenery... 😍
I loved this so much! Congratulations you guys! 🎉🥹
An absolutely lovely wedding! My husband and I actually got married in the mountains too. ❤️ ⛰️ 🌄 🏔
Immy, since I saw the lovely news on your IG I've been so so happy for you, it all looks so beautiful! I'm getting married in a few months, this has been such an inspiration ❤ have a wonderful life together
Hooray! Congratulations! This is all so awesome. Your wedding looked and sounds absolutely lovely. I can't wait to see what the future holds for the two of you!
Thank you so much!!
So funny - after 17 years of living in Colorado I am just packing up to move. I will enjoy seeing it here once I’m gone 😊
Your wedding looked so beautiful, I can’t believe you can rent flowers, makes so much sense! Some gripping podcast recs: Sweet Bobby, The Witness, Harsh Reality: The Story of Miriam Rivera.
Congrats! Hope to see you around Denver!
You will love Zero Market and Joyfill 😊💚✌️
I can't think of a better way to wed. You looked stunning, setting off that beautiful back drop. Wow!
I thought those mountains looked familiar! I love Colorado and all the vegan options in Denver. There's an amazing hot spring in steamboat called strawberry hot springs! Maybe you all could do a honeymoon there. I used to live on capitol hill and west Denver. Hope you all find a good affordable place. And your wedding is the most beautiful thing I've every seen. Congrats!
Oh Wow! Congratulations Immy & Hubby !! ;) 😁😁You looked beautiful and it looked like beautiful area to Ellope. Good luck looking for a place to rent. 😁😁💜💜
Congratulations! Wow what a GORGEOUS spot, what a lovely memory you made together. Love it! Enjoy the wedding bliss! Cheers!
As your old subscriber, I’m happy to see you living up your dream, your values!❤
Me unfortunately, bought perfect second had dress for my own wedding, buty husband’s family and him included totally hated it and made me buy a new one from the mall 😢 I also wanted it just to be for two of us, very intimate, but my partner didn’t want it that way. 2 years later, I’m still cry about it and I blame myself for not beating able to do what I really want and don’t really like to think about that day
What a lovely and special ceremony! All the best to the two of you
Thank you for sharing! Loved it!
I loved this video!!!! Thanks for sharing it
Huge congrats!! 🎉
Congratulations to you both! What a beautiful way to get married 💕
Congratulations!!!!! I photograph weddings and elopements are my favorite because they are so personal. 🥰
Congratulations! I believe you ended up getting the first place that you were hoping for and not the Cheesman Park apt, but Cheesman Park is such a lovely area. I have family in Denver and they love it. I hope you both enjoy building your lives together, it has been so fun watching it all - thank you for sharing these special moments with us!
You're finally here and married! So happy for you both, it's been a long wait. It sounds like your wedding was exactly what you wanted and that's what's important. So happy for you both!
Congratulations!
Congratulations- enjoy your future adventures as a married couple!💖
I love that you chose to have a sustainable wedding! People used to go to the courthouse and sign the paper with a judge. Now there is so much expectation of expensive fuss. I am so glad that you shared this!
Thinking about a modern wedding stressed us both out so so much - we're so happy that it was just us celebrating our love in a way that made us both feel calm, special and intimate!
Congratulations to both of you, and I wish you the best in this new part of your lives!
I LOVE DENVER! for AMAZING coffee it will be easy but definitely go to middlestate coffee! And also another coffee shop i love is Crema
So happy for you both!!
My favourite podcast is The Breaking Trail Podcast. So so so special 🌸
Welcome to America! Congratulations! Blessings & Hugs! 🧡🌻 can’t wait to see future videos!
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations!!! My husband and I eloped as well, that's the way to do it! And Colorado....it's my dream to live there one day. So beautiful.
Congratulations and all the best on your journey together, wherever it leads you both 💝
Congratulations for you both! I wish you all the best and all the love for your journey together❤ I loved your personal wedding without all the people and the glamour and the huge expanses. My second wedding will probably be like this. Love from Germany, Julia
Congratulations to both of you!
👫💍💐 🌄 I hope you are enjoying married life. The charcuterie board looked amazing! Best wishes from England. x
congratulations to you both. I am 57 and have been with my partner for over 30 years. I turned 40 on our trip to Colorado and feel pregnant after years of trying. We are not married but your wedding would be so perfect for us to. I am researching now and it may happen before I hit 60. Thank you.
So, so happy for you both!
Congratulations! You had an *amazing* spot to be married! My husband was living in Colorado when we met (during the Blizzard of '78!) He came home to Michigan (I'm from Grand Rapids). We met. He never returned to Colorado lol! I really want to go there (and soon!) We had a STUNNING Autumn here in Michigan this year. I'm so happy you got to experience it!
Michigan is such a gem and I honestly think its one of the most beautiful places I've ever had the chance to visit and spend time in!!
Congratulations to you both! Such a beautiful couple, such a beautiful way to get married. So you Immy! x
Congrats! What a beautiful day! I’m so glad you got the exact wedding you wanted. ❤️
Lol living off your wedding menu for a week. Cuties.
We are eloping at our local beach in the spring - this made me even more excited. I love how tiny & simple is becoming more common and socially acceptable. As a long time follower, I must say it is just so nice to see you two together! What a beautiful day - I wish you all the best on the new adventure you're starting over here in north america 😁
Congratulations! I have been toying with the idea of eloping and you have just made my mind up - absolutely going to do this. You looked beautiful and happy and your food and flowers looked amazing. All with your signature light footprint on the earth 🌍
Congratulations! Love that you chose to elope in the mountains. My husband and I did the exact same thing in Rocky Mountain National Park in 2020.
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you both! Thank you for sharing such beautiful and special moments with us. Much love to you guys! 🥰❤️🤗💕
It all looks beautiful- congratulations 😊 Love the idea of renting flowers, too!
I’ve only just started watching but I had to comment…I’m so excited to see what happened!! 💕
The entire last video I had a feeling it was Colorado 😂 Welcome to Colorado!
