In terms of d\u00e9cor the couple wanted something that represented them as a couple, but was also welcoming, natural, and offered an elegant atmosphere that complemented the breathtaking natural beauty of the Sandia Mountains that surrounded them. This outdoor-loving couple wanted to treasure all of the special memories they have made and share them with their guests, while also sharing all of their future adventures to come! They themed each of the dining tables around National Parks they have visited and will visit in the future as a married couple. They love all of their memories, but loved creating new memories laughing and celebrating with all of their favorite people!&#8221;<\/p><cite>&#8211;  Lauren, The Event Center at Sandia Golf Club<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever heard of such a cute idea?!
