Without a doubt, it was love at first sight for Anna Taylor and Scott Synovic. On Anna's first day of work at a new job, she spotted Scott, and, as she remembers: "Our eyes met, and at the same time there was this unexplainable flash of light, some sort of glint or sparkle." Anna and Scott went on to date for more than six years. "I certainly was ready to get married," Anna says, but when Scott proposed at one of her favorite restaurants, the emotion was overwhelming. Scott sat down next to Anna and read her the lyrics to a song and then a verse from the Song of Solomon. "Honestly, the rest was a blur," Anna says. "I’m sure I didn’t hesitate and instantly said yes."
The Bride Anna Taylor, now 30 and a graphic designer
The Groom Scott Synovic, 31 and a mortgage broker
The Date April 22
Anna and Scott plunged into planning a spring wedding in Vail…or, at least, Anna did. "I bounced ideas off Scott, but he left most of the decisions up to me," the bride remembers. "My ideas were very grand, but with working full-time, in addition to freelance work on the side, it was a challenge to make time for everything that I wanted to do." Anna used her design expertise to envision the look of the day, which the couple wanted to be natural but modern, in keeping with their surroundings. They didn’t want the usual color scheme either, so pinks and purples were foresworn in favor of bright green and tangerine.
