We are incredibly blessed to have wedding rings with a long history behind them, which make them just beyond special to us. The original ring set marked the engagement and marriage of Stephen’s grandparents Richard and Virginia Kong (waaayyyyy ahead of their time in eloping to Vegas!!). Several years ago, Virginia promised the rings to Stephen when or…
Our website wouldn’t be complete without acknowledging the man who is about to pronounce us Man and Wife! Finding an officiant was definitely a challenge – between the location in Colorado (which Kim left well over a decade ago), the later age at which we’re marrying (and so the aging of our childhood pastors), the…
We are blessed with two sets of loving, involved parents and siblings, who are making this day incredibly special for both of us. In the final weeks leading up to the wedding, we’ve been leaning on them more and more, so we just wanted to make sure everyone knows just how much we love them,…
We are pleased to offer nanny service to help both kids and parents get the most enjoyment out of our celebration! We are offering this service free of charge to our guests from 4-9pm. Nanny service is contracted with the Nanny Brigade, and will take place on site, in close proximity to wedding events. Your kids’…
Friday, September 1st: While there is no official event Friday weekend for the whole crew, after the rehearsal we’ll be hanging out at Oscar Blues Grill and Bar for the evening. Come on over if you’d like to grab a beer with us beginning around 8pm – it’s a 2 minute walk through a tunnel from…
Hotel blocks are available in both Boulder (better downtown/shopping/nightlife), and Longmont (better quality–price trade-off). Longmont hotels are a little closer to the venue and about 30 minutes closer to Fort Collins, where the Sunday afternoon events will be held. Shuttle service will be provided to the venue from the Longmont Dry Cree/Hover St Hotel area. If sufficient…
Flights The nearest commercial airport to Fort Collins is Denver International Airport DEN (and no, Dad, Fort-Love airport doesn’t count!). DIA is a big airport with hubs for United, Frontier, and Southwest airlines, and has strong showings from most other airlines. We recommend booking as soon as possible, as flights to Colorado can get more…
For simplicity, Stephen and Kim are registered on Zola, so you can visit one site to see items from different stores.
We are so lucky to have Francesca DeOrio of Calluna Events on our side to plan this wedding! There’s nothing like planning a wedding at a distance to strike fear into the hearts of two engineers, so we’re luck to have her on our side! Check out her full profile on Calluna’s website. Calluna specializes…

We are so blessed to have friends from many stages of our lives standing with us on this day! They mean the world to us, so we want to brag on them a little, so you all can look forward to getting to know this special group at our reception! Maid of Honor – Kathleen Kim…
December 2016 marked 3.5 years of dating. Kim had just returned from China, and Stephen had enthusiastically welcomed her back to Washington, DC. After two years of jet-setting around the world to meet each other, Kim and Stephen were looking forward to their first trip while sharing a homebase: Stephen’s family invited the couple on…
Painting credit: Joyce Mihran Turley — When two people fall in love on the opposite coast from their friends and family, any venue is a destination wedding, so we decided to get married in one of our favorite destinations: the Colorado foothills near Kim’s hometown. As with any destination-ish wedding, we know you have questions,…
We are getting married on September 2, 2017! You probably know one of us very well, but you may not have had the pleasure of an introduction to our partners-to-be. We look forward to meeting those we don’t know, and reuniting with those we do at the party this fall! Stephen Faltemier grew up near Los Angeles.…
How They Met: Kim and Stephen lived across North Kings Highway from each other in 2010. They had many hobbies in common, including ballroom dancing, backpacking, and enjoying the Washington, DC brewery scene. So they met exactly how you might expect: three years later via eHarmony. Their First Date: Kim interfered with Stephen’s efforts at…
We have set our wedding date! Join our families on September 2, 2017 for a celebration in the mountains around Boulder, Colorado! Credit to Joyce Turley for the styling on our lovely Save the Date cards! There is a lot of meaning packed into the Save the Dates, but to unpack it, you first have…
