Farm Wedding

Notes from the photographer, Lucky Malone: These two got married Labor Day weekend at Osborn Farm in Loveland, CO. Michelle did some major DIYing for the wedding. I love this couple's bohemian-glam style - be sure to check out Michelle's beautiful antique ruby engagement ring, awesome gold shoes and gold belt. I love the cow "branding" for the invites and throughout the wedding details, which is a nod to Gabor's family name. From the Bride, Michelle: We're really committed to a bilingual wedding since Gabor's family from Hungary speaks little to no English. We want to make sure both cultures are represented and really feel included since it is going to be the first major introduction. Gabor is from Budapest, Hungary and his last name is Boczonadi, which his family has shortened to Boci for generations. Boci means cow or calf in Hungarian and his family is really proud of this. Their business (a small tool/hardware retailer) even has a cow as a logo. We decided to incorporate into our wedding as we start a new line of the Boci family. Now, as our friends and family catch on, I'm afraid we'll end up with an entire house of cow knickknacks! The ring was given to us by Gabor's mom and was her great aunt's ring. His family doesn't know the whole story behind it, but they think it is from around 1910 and is a ruby. His grandma told me a great story about how family jewelry is really important in Hungary because they have been through so many wars, where homes and land were destroyed or stolen, it is some of the only family wealth many people have. She can remember smuggling her pouch of jewelry through three different wars.
