But even though she and her future husband, Cliff, had dated since high school in Mobile, Alabama, she didn't initially peg him as the groom. Four years of long distance on-again, off-again later, they got serious. She moved back to Cliff in Mobile, and a year and a half later, he proposed. Abby wasn't fazed by the prospect of long-distance wedding planning, and with the help of a planner, the couple pulled off a glamorous ski-lodge wedding, with bursts of metallic gold to play off Colorado's snowy landscape. 02 of 16 Woodsy Stationery Aaron Delesie "I've always loved stationery," said Abby. "We custom-designed every piece of our suite." Engraved invites went to guests in foil-letterpressed envelopes, and gold thread held together a pine needle–adorned "Save the Weekend" booklet.
