Since she's the youngest of eight, it's no surprise that family is extremely important to Holly. There are 21 years separating me from the oldest, so I really have a lot of people who raised me, she says. Craig is well aware of this. After less than two months of dating, Craig asked Holly's parents for her hand within the first 15 minutes of meeting the Wisconsin natives. Her father's reply? You might want to ask her first! Craig took that as a yes. THE BRIDE Holly Van Order, 29, wellness program director THE GROOM Craig Becker 30, senior financial analyst THE DATE August 23

Holly wore a Judd Waddell strapless silk gown with hand-sewn beading.
Galvanized containers with blue hydrangeas, yellow roses, and greenery accented the reception tables. As guests entered the arch-windowed space with gorgeous view of Longs Peak and the sunset, they signed a scrapbook filled with the couple's engagement photos. Photo-driven elements popped up everywhere, from childhood pictures strewn on the round tables to the small silver picture frames positioned at each place setting with each guest's name and the dinner selections, including kid-friendly chicken fingers and fries.
Holly and Craig first danced to The Way You Look Tonight.

The bridesmaid's carried blue bouquets with tiny yellow accents. I wanted my bouquet to match Craig's [yellow] tie and be different from my bridesmaids, Holly says.
