At their self-uniting ceremony in Frisco, Colo., on Jan. 6, the first thing Sarah Bishop and Kacey Harris did was play a round of rock-paper-scissors.
That was their way of deciding who should say their vows first. The couple were standing beside Dillon Reservoir, which was frozen, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, covered by new snow and crisscrossed with animal tracks.
The sun had just risen, but not the temperature. It was zero degrees. Ms. Harris won, so she began. This was the third wedding the couple had planned, with each one getting smaller and smaller.
First, they sent out save-the-date cards for a wedding they had hoped to have this year in Hawaii on March 5, the 10th anniversary of the day they decided to date each other.
