An Intimate Wedding at CopperWynd Resort and Club in Fountain Hills, Arizona

Tina Ireland (46 and in financial services) and Mark Rude (48 and in global business operations) got engaged in front of the LOVE sign in Scottsdale, Arizona, and recreated the moment a few days later for Tina’s children. They chose to be married at the CopperWynd Resort and Club in Fountain Hills, Arizona, for its magnificent vistas and small boutique resort, where they could stay with their guests. The ceremony took place outdoors with a view of the mountains at sunset, and dinner followed in a private Tuscan-inspired room with oversize windows. Since the couple’s guests were all immediate family and close friends, they asked them to wear attire in the blush or navy blue color palette. “Our wedding was intimate and classic, casual with a little bit of country,” says Tina. “We wanted our day to be about sharing our happiness with our family.”
