\"Leap<\/p>\n

Leap Day only occurs once every four years, making February 29 a highly desirable date to \u201ctie the knot.\u201d To celebrate this unofficial holiday, Chapel of the Flowers created the Take the Leap Day Wedding Contest. Which gave one lucky couple the chance to take the ultimate “leap of faith” by skydiving after their Vegas ceremony.<\/p>\n

Leap Year<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Leap<\/p>\n

Why do we have Leap Day every 4 years? Well, it is to account for the fact that each year actually has 365.25 days! In 45 B.C., Julius Caesar<\/a> came up with the idea of Leap Day to occur every 4 years, in order to make up for this discrepancy.<\/p>\n

Over thousands of years, many couples have adopted this holiday as a romantic date to propose marriage<\/a> or \u201ctie the knot.” At Chapel of the Flowers, this Leap Day was our busiest day since 7-7-07. Our contest winners, Crystal and Isbet, where one of these ceremonies on February 29, 2020.<\/p>\n

About the Couple<\/h2>\n

Crystal Espinoza and Isbet Garcia from Colorado Spring, CO, met nearly four years ago through mutual friends. Isbet popped the question to Crystal by leaving the engagement ring on top of some furniture they were building together. Of course, Crystal said \u201cYES!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Leap<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to get married in Vegas anyway, and the jump [skydive] made it even more exciting!\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And now \u2013 Leap Day will forever be a significant date for these thrill seekers \u2013 their wedding day!<\/p>\n

Leap Day Wedding<\/h2>\n

Hundreds took the leap<\/em> and entered the Take the Leap Day Wedding contest, knowing that only one lucky couple would win the coveted prize including a ceremony in our Glass Gardens chapel<\/a>, tandem skydive for two, and much more.<\/p>\n

\"Leap<\/p>\n

Crystal and Isbet pulled up to the Glass Gardens chapel in style in their stretch limousine. They knew that in just a few moments, they would be married! As their guests gathered in the chapel, the lovebirds were whisked away to spend a few minutes with the chapel\u2019s minister to customize their ceremony.<\/p>\n

\"Leap<\/p>\n

As Crystal walked down the aisle to \u201cIn Case You Didn\u2019t Know\u201d by Brett Young, Isbet wore a huge smile on her face. They laughed and cried throughout their beautiful ceremony. After making their vows to one another, surrounded by their closest friends, family, and loved ones, they were finally pronounced \u201cMrs. & Mrs.\u201d!<\/p>\n
