Our Wedding

Lindsay and Peter’s story began the way you may have imagined: by walking up to one another and allowing their dogs, Loki and Daisy, to sniff each others butts. They would briefly chat with one another, smile, but then go their separate ways. However, as chance would have it, they showed up on each others dating apps. Lindsay and Peter both swiped right and promptly started talking to one another, agreeing to meet in a more intimate setting. Their first date, at a neighborhood Sicilian restaurant, served up a lot of chemistry. Afterwards, Peter offered to walk Lindsay to her car. Lindsay was confused, replying that there was no need for that, and instead allowed Peter to walk her home. As they approached Lindsay’s apartment building, Peter stammered: How have we never run into each other before? We have, several times! Lindsay giggled… walking our dogs! Mortified, Peter quickly changed the topic, told her what a great time he had had that night, and kissed her. Afterwards, Peter walked home, kicking himself for not recognizing his hottest neighbor. Lindsay never let him live that gaffe down, but, nonetheless, agreed to another date. Peter, though embarrassed to this day about not recognizing her, takes comfort in knowing that it signaled the beginning of the most amazing love story of their life!

It all started with butt sniffs…

Q + A

Snow Mountain Ranch has awesome (and affordable) options for accommodations, one of the very reasons we selected this venue! We recommend booking a room at the Indian Peaks Lodge which is walking distance to the reception.

YMCA of the Rockies - Snow Mountain Ranch

Home James is the best (and only) option for pickup and drop off from DEN to Snow Mountain Ranch. If you are happy to hang at SMR and stick to onsite exploring (there is tons to do there) this is an easy option!

Home James Transportation

If you want to explore Winter Park on your way to Tabernash, we recommend renting a car when you land at DEN.

Rental car

Travel

Mirror Lake and Crater Lake via Cascade Creek Trail Bring plenty of water, this is a long but fantastic height to two beautiful lakes.

Hike to where we got engaged

A beautiful and much shorter hike option!

Hike to Lake Evelyn

We love Grand Lake!!! It is beautiful and it is also where Lindsay grew up going to theatre camp. Make sure you stop by the Dairy King or Miyauchis for an ice cream!

Take a  drive out to see Grand Lake, Colorado

Walk over to the Snow Mountain Ranch Craft Shop. With a large assortment of crafts options, kids &amp; adults can make and take home handcrafted memories. The Snow Mountain Ranch Craft Shop is open daily with projects available for all ages and abilities. Projects range from $1 to $25.

Craft your heart out at the SMR Craft Shop

This is where Steve taught Lindsay to golf!

Pole Creek Golf Club

This is a four mile round trip out and back at SMR. Follow the signs towards Columbine  Pointe and stay right at the fork (there will be an arrow with waterfall. The road at the very end is a bit gutted so may want to park on the side of the road and walk a little bit extra if you do not have a high clearance vehicle.

Nearby waterfall hike

After you have finished wandering around downtown Winter Park, head west along the Fraser River Trail. We recommend walking to the resort and back. Daisy Mae and Loki are big fans of the Fraser River.
