Our Wedding

Molly started out at Four Seasons Vail as a Human Resource manager, at which point she saw the overnight security guard, Erik Gryska's name every morning in a nightly report email and he saw Molly Moffet's name on endless HR emails. One evening after her shift, a coworker was standing in the security office and asked Molly what book she was reading right now. Molly answered that she had just started a book called The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. At this point, Erik looked up from his security camera feed, made eye contact with his crystal blue eyes, and said, "I love that book!" and they promptly forgot anyone else was in the room, having eyes only for each other. From that day on, Molly made a point of stopping at Security after each shift to update him on where she was in the book. He left for Christmas in Costa Rica with his family and Molly realized how much she looked forward to these 5-minute interactions every day when she didn't see him for a few weeks. Eventually, Molly read through the 3rd book (there are currently 4 written in the series) and Erik admitted that he had only read the first three but had started the forth book because she was reading it. Molly understood that was nerd-speak for, "I'm interested," so the next week, she asked him if he wanted to talk about books over a beer some time and they set a date. The first date went so well that Erik asked Molly to be his girlfriend that night, to which she very eagerly agreed. The two have been inseparable ever since. Their passion for books, travel, the mountains, their pets, camping, play outside, learning about the world around them, cooking and eating, and generally exploring life as a team has lead to years of happiness and they are excited to embark on all their future adventures together.

Officiant

Chelly is one of the few people who was friends with both Molly and Erik at Four Seasons before they got together. She liked them both before they even liked each other and she watched their relationship grow at weekly Dungeons and Dragons games. She soon became in indispensable part of the Gryzly story. From witch tea parties to autumn photo shoots and impromptu game nights, Chelly and baby Myles are a one of a kind friends to both Erik and Molly.

They have a free shuttle service to get to and from the Village as well. There is a ski rental shop (contact Molly for Vail Resorts Discounts!) and everything is there at the Resort including some very fancy (and yes pricey, but delicious- Molly and Erik did a quality control test) restaurants and bars.Molly and Erik will be staying here for the weekend and hope to see lots of you there!

Grand Hyatt Vail

Just use the following link and you can book from a selection of multi-room condos. This club is in Molly and Erik's neighborhood and boasts a spa, an outdoor pool, and super close proximity to our favorite park in Vail with a playground, pond, and dog park. Racquet Club is on the bus route, so if you don't want to deal with parking there is a free bus every 15 minutes that time of year!The Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Cocktail Reception will be held at Apres Restaurant located in the Racquet Club. Molly works there part time because she loves the people, the food, the neighborhood environment, and the short walk from her front door.While it is outside of town, its only a 10 minute drive to the ski hill or a 20 minute free bus ride. Getting home from the wedding is doable via 2 free buses (please keep in mind that Vail does not have an abundance of Ubers and taxis). This is a great option for a family scenario as the condos come with kitchen, multiple rooms, fire places, and cozy mountain comfort. https://be.synxis.com/?Hotel=76999&amp;Chain=21774&amp;arrive=2025-04-10&amp;depart=2025-04-13&amp;adult=1&amp;child=0&amp;group=MWED

Getting Here!

So if you are flying, you will want to fly into either Denver International Airport (DIA)or Vail's Regional Airport, Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE). Flights into Eagle (often listed as Vail or Vail-Eagle) are generally more expensive and frequently require a plane change in Denver. However, it is only 40 minutes by car to Vail once you land.Denver is 100 miles and several mountain passes from Vail and we have no idea what the weather might look like -could be literally anything from sunny 80s to full-blown blizzard- so here are some different options for getting to Vail. We are also happy to help coordinate car-pooling and pick ups where we can. Just let Molly or Erik know if you would like help with finding your best ride. Rental Car-Of course, if you want a car to get around during your stay, all the accommodations have parking and it can be much easier if you are traveling with ski gear. We recommended asking about four-wheel drive or snow tires, but you just take I-70 the whole way, you can do it! SHUTTLE SERVICESIf you don't want to drive there are shuttle services and busses. Summit Express<a href="https://www.summitexpress.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.summitexpress.com/</a>$75/per personYou can rent an individual shuttle, or for a less pricey choice, they have schedule rides with scheduled stops. The cars are roomy and nice and the drivers are friendly and experienced driving in the snow. Molly and Erik use this service frequently. Bustang<a href="https://ridebustang.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ridebustang.com/</a>$17/ per personThese busses pick up at Union Station at regularly scheduled intervals. They are nice, clean, have wifi, and experienced bus drivers.Sometimes the busses can fill up and run out of space in the super busy months, but it shouldn't be that crazy this particular week in April (we planned it that way!). Epic Mountain Express<a href="https://www.epicmountainexpress.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.epicmountainexpress.com/</a>Starting at $79You can rent a shuttle for a group of any size and get picked up at the airport and dropped at your destination or join a scheduled ride with others. They are very used to dealing with mountain roads and people traveling with ski gear.
