The bride and groom were born and bred in the valley \u2014<br \/>\nLaura graduated from Aspen High School in 2011 and Dan graduated from Basalt<br \/>\nHigh School in 2009. The pair could be described as a match made in the<br \/>\nmountains; specifically, a match made by their mothers who introduced them. It<br \/>\nwas love at first sight and the rest, as they say, is history. Over the course<br \/>\nof a two-year courtship, their connection grew stronger despite geographic<br \/>\nbarriers as their careers took them all over the state though not to the same<br \/>\nplaces. They would road trip to see one another in Montrose, Ridgway, Basalt,<br \/>\nTelluride and Denver, before settling down together in Breckenridge. Laura is a<br \/>\nlabor and delivery nurse at St. Anthony\u2019s Summit Medical Center and Dan is the<br \/>\nbranch manager at Alpine Bank in Breckenridge.<\/p>\n<p>Their<br \/>\nwedding ceremony was a traditional Catholic Mass at the recently restored St.<br \/>\nMary Catholic Church with Father John Hilton as celebrant and Father Stephen<br \/>\nSiebert as concelebrant. The reception took place on site, flowing through the<br \/>\noutdoor courtyard and bright interior of the church. Chef Martin Oswald\u2019s<br \/>\nPyramid Bistro provided the dinner, the cake was made by Mix Cakery, flowers<br \/>\nwere by Bloom Designs and the wedding photographer was Tara Marolda. Laura\u2019s<br \/>\nfather Pat Sudmeier, a professional photographer, also snapped a few images,<br \/>\nwhich are on these pages, and her mother, who is an architect, beautifully<br \/>\ndrafted the footprint for the party during the planning stages. Following dinner,<br \/>\nthe cutting of the cake and dancing under the stars, the newlyweds were seen<br \/>\noff under a sea of sparklers. They honeymooned in Hawaii on the island of Maui,<br \/>\nand are now back in Breck, starting their next chapter as the Kaputskas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/magazines\/aspen-times-weekly\/mountain-mayhem-a-very-merry-wedding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan Kaputska and his bride, Laura Sudmeier, pose for wedding photos up Independence Pass.
