Reception

Our Wedding

Cameron and Monica met while working together at Davis Graham and Stubbs, a law firm in downtown Denver. They spent about a year getting to know each other as friends, often emailing and stopping by each other's desks on a daily basis. They knew each other well when they started dating. With Monica's love of traveling and live music, and Cameron's passion for fishing and the outdoors, they have shared many amazing adventures the past 3 years.

Background

The Ride Festival, Telluride, COJuly 11-12, 2015Cameron, Monica and Joe (Monica's brother) were excited to see Widespread Panic, among other acts, play for the weekend-long music festival. It was Cameron and Monica's first time to Telluride and Cameron's first overnight music festival. Saturday morning, before the music began, they decided to go for a hike. Cameron had the plan of proposing that weekend, but wasn't sure when or where (and...for all of those who have asked...yes, he had the plan to carry the ring wherever it needed to go - Monica does not freely go through his backpack). After asking around a bit, they decided to hike to the waterfall that is distantly visible from town; the tallest free-falling waterfall in Colorado, in fact! On the drive up to the trail head, Monica looked up the name of the waterfall. The name was "Bridal Veil Falls". Duly noted by Cameron.It was a perfect Colorado mountain morning. The sun was shining, views were clear, and some surrounding rain clouds managed to stay off in the distance. They took their time hiking while taking in the scenery and snapping photos here and there. Once they had turned the bend to the actual waterfall, Cameron knew without a doubt that this was the spot. He took a picture of Joe up where he envisioned he would propose, and then it was Monica and Cameron's turn. Cameron asked Joe to take "one, actually no, a bunch" of photos, which Monica gave him a strange look about. Monica and Cameron climbed up towards the waterfall where they gave a swift kiss on the lips and Monica turned to pose for a photo. Cameron at this point grabbed her by the shoulders, looked her in the eye, and told her how much he loved her. She was his best friend. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her and start a family with her. He got down on one knee. Monica was in shock. She had no clue this was going to happen, and neither did Joe who was shouting up "What's happening?!" Needless to say, they got an amazing photo - thanks Joe! - and she, of course, said YES!

Q + A

The Grand Hyatt Denver is a 10 minute walk (and an even shorter taxi ride) to the Denver Athletic Club. We have blocked rooms for the nights of June 17 &amp; 18. If you would like to stay here, please book your room no later than May 20, 2016. Important Note: Regardless of what The Grand Hyatt's restrictions are for booking no later than May 20, 2016, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO STAY HERE - EVERY HOTEL IN DOWNTOWN IS SELLING OUT RIGHT NOW due to Comic Con, an extremely popular event in downtown Denver, happening the weekend of our wedding. If you plan to stay in downtown, you need to book your room(s) ASAP.TL;DR: **COMIC CON IS HAPPENING DOWNTOWN THE WEEKEND OF OUR WEDDING. DO NOT DELAY BOOKING ACCOMMODATIONS.**

Grand Hyatt Denver

The light rail is now open to get to/from Denver's airport! It runs every 15 minutes, costs $9 and drops you downtown at Union Station.

Light Rail to/from DIA

If you are not renting a car and coming from the airport, you can take a bus into the city for $11 (a much cheaper option than a taxi or Uber ride, which will range from $40-$70!).

SkyRide to/from Denver International Airport

For those uninterested in the Grand Hyatt option, we suggest you search for rental properties through either airbnb.com or vrbo.com and look in the Capitol Hill, Uptown or Highlands neighborhoods. These hip neighborhoods are right off of downtown and are very easy to Uber/Lyft to the wedding venue from.

Capitol Hill, Uptown or Highlands Neighborhoods

Denver's Free Mall Ride runs up and down 16th Street seven days a week and stops on every block between Civic Center and Union Station. It starts at 5:00 am on weekdays, 5:30 am on Saturdays and 6:30 am on Sundays/holidays. Service continues throughout the day with the last complete round-trip of the night starting out at 1:21am from Union Station to Civic Center and back. Walking the mall or riding the free mall ride is a great way to tour the downtown area!

16th Street *Free* Mall Ride

For those who will not be renting a car, but would like to get in or out of Denver, here is RTD's website:

Regional Transportation District

Denver Union Station is the transportation hub for The Mile High City, offering access to RTD's buses, the 16th Street Mall Ride, the FasTracks light rail line and Amtrak train.
