    Boulder is actually wonderful. Too pricey but if you're already there, I'd stay. It is a little "Boulderish" but I got married in Boulder 20 years ago and would live there if I didn't have goings-on here in Denver.

    Boulder is a GREAT place to live. I did a year of school there. Also was "in the area Frequently over the years.

    I was there 2 years ago ( stayed in Denver, but visited the Boulder PUB"(s) with friends several times & wore my kilts .exclusively.Lots of "interesting observations KILT up & "BLOW THEIR MINDS"

    BTW, does the "tacoma" in your "name" have a PNW connection ???

    Yeah, I'm sure I was just kidding. I've lived the Denver metro area my whole life, and Boulder is a thing to be made fun of, with your crazy environmental and health ideas and all. Of course, the bicyclers have seem to think they own the road or that the laws don't apply to them or something... but then again, Denver drivers have gotten the same way as of late. Well anyways, it sounds like your wedding is going to be great. Have you checked the Kilt Nights section lately? You ought to come down off the hill and go to see Angus Mohr with us next week!

    The best weddings I have ever seen are ones where the men wear kilts. There is something about the white dress and a man wearing a tux and kilt that look great! Looks much better than pants.

    I actually work in downtown Denver but my fiance works in Loveland. So Boulder is kind of middleish.

    Nice!

    I do have a PNW connection, but my name is due to the fact that I'm a firefighter (volunteer) and drive a Toyota Tacoma. But my mom is from Washington state (Kettle Falls) and my dad is from Portland, OR. All of my extended family is up that way.

    Although I live in Kent WA., I grew up near where your mother was born. I lived in Spokane & spent every chance I had on our families homestead outside of Springdale. ("steaded in 1910 (Dads Father) My Mother was born in Colevile (her family moved there in 1905 then to Spokane.)

    I have worn my kilts in Springdale & "vicinety" What a BLAST, esp. the reactions from the Native Amer.s ( the Colevile & Spokane Rez.) They LOVE them !! Great way to talk "tradition"

    You have GOT TO TRY IT. Wearing a KILT in Small towns

    a) the clerk -- some people open their mouths to show their ignorance

    b) your fiance is, as others have said, a keeper!

    c) Boulder connection: our daughter-in-law is working on her Master's degree at the University of Colorado

    My family homesteaded in the area about 1910. My grandpa used to have some great stories about growing up in the area... riding his horse to school, interactions with the local indians, etc. I have a bunch of aunts and uncles who still live in Colville and my grandparents are buried in Chewelah.

    I love that area and try to get up there every summer. Small world! Most people haven't even heard of Kettle falls!

    My fiance is great. We're high school sweethearts and have been together almost 9 years. She just got back after 2 years in Oregon getting her masters degree.
