We're getting married

Adam Mariak & Emirjeta Cupi

April 16, 2027 • 4:00 PM • Manitou Springs, Colorado

Welcome, friends

We're so glad you're here

We can't wait to celebrate with you in the shadow of Pikes Peak. Most of our family and friends are traveling from out of state, so we've put this site together with everything you need — when, where, how to get here, where to stay, and how to make a long weekend out of it.

Colorado in April can be sunny one minute and snowing the next, so pack layers and an adventurous attitude. We'll keep this page updated as more details come together.

A few favorite moments

Our Story

A handful of moments from the years leading up to this one — hikes, road trips, late-night dinners, and the day we said yes.

Dress Code

Formal · Spring Brights

Bring the color. Think wildflowers, sunsets, and the mountains in bloom — florals, pastels, jewel tones, and anything that sings. Save white for the bride; leave black for another night.

The ceremony is outdoors on the grounds, with cocktail hour flowing between the patio and indoors. Heels can be tricky on grass and cobblestone — block heels or flats are your friend.

April highs are in the mid-50s°F and lows can dip near freezing, so bring a wrap or jacket for the ceremony and evening.
