Erin & Rick in Cerrillos, NM

The Bride: Erin, 30, a newspaper reporter The Groom: Rick, 31, a newspaper reporter The Date: June 25 Each day during the year that Erin and Rick spent planning their wedding, new ideas kept popping into their heads. We tried to execute all of them, no matter how silly, Rick says. An amped-up wedding website (OurSuperAwesomeWedding.com), complete with a welcome video? Check. Puppets in the couple’s likeness? Check. Life-size cardboard cutouts of the bride and groom? Double check! But it wasn’t just fun and games: The bright red and turquoise decor also added elegance and authentic southwestern flair to their sunset wedding.
