Kaila & Ryan | A Beautiful Wedding at Wellshire Inn

Some love stories begin with a chance encounter, some begin through friends, and for Kaila and Ryan, theirs began online. Six years ago, on August 1, these two met for the first time, and six years later, they returned to that same date to celebrate the beginning of their forever.


Their wedding day at the Wellshire Inn Event Center in Denver, Colorado, was filled with thoughtful details, heartfelt moments, and the warm beauty of a fall-inspired color palette. Rich fall tones throughout the day created a beautiful and romantic atmosphere that perfectly complemented the celebration.


One of the most meaningful moments of the day was their ring blessing. Before Kaila and Ryan exchanged their wedding bands, the rings were passed around to their immediate friends and members of their wedding party. Each person had the opportunity to hold the rings and offer their own well wishes, love, and blessings for the couple. Those wishes were then quite literally carried with them in their wedding bands, making the rings even more meaningful symbols of the love and support surrounding their marriage.

The couple was married by Ryan’s stepmother, making their ceremony especially personal and heartfelt. Having someone so close to their family stand before them to officiate their wedding made the moment even more special as Kaila and Ryan exchanged their vows and officially began this next chapter together.

And then there was the cake topper, which may have been the cutest detail of the entire day!


Kaila has had a turtle since she was just one year old, so a little turtle cake topper was the perfect personal touch for their wedding cake. It was such a sweet nod to something that has been a part of Kaila’s life for nearly as long as she can remember. It’s those little details that make a wedding feel truly unique to the couple.


From meeting online six years ago to standing together as husband and wife on the anniversary of the day they first met, Kaila and Ryan’s wedding was a beautiful celebration of their journey. Every detail, from their fall-toned color palette to their meaningful ring blessing, reflected the love, history, and people who have helped shape their story.

Their Wellshire Inn wedding was more than a celebration of becoming husband and wife. It was a celebration of where their story began, the six years they’ve shared, the people who have supported them along the way, and all the adventures still ahead.


Congratulations, Kaila and Ryan! May your wedding bands always carry the love and well wishes of everyone who surrounded you on this beautiful day and may you have many, many more August 1st anniversaries to celebrate together. ❤️
