Airports/Getting Around
Airport
There are no direct flights from Chicago (ORD) to Vail (EGE). Layover for those flying from Chicago is at the Denver airport.
The drive from Denver airport is about two hours, its a scenic very easy drive if you were to rent a car.
There is also a shuttle from Denver to Vail that can be coordinated with up to 12 guests with luggage directly from the airport to the hotel. So discuss among friends your arrival and departure and save on a shuttle together!

Our Story
One Swipe Later
It all started with a swipe right…
From the very first message, sparks flew between Becca and Braden. What began as playful banter on Hinge quickly turned into late-night conversations that neither of them wanted to end.
When they finally met in person, the chemistry was undeniable — the kind of connection you feel instantly, deep in your chest. One look, one smile, and they both knew something special had begun.
Soon after, Braden met Miko — Becca’s fiercely loyal rescue pup known for being skeptical of strangers (especially men). But when Miko’s tail wagged for Braden, Becca couldn’t help but smile and think, “Okay… this guy might really be it.”
From there, their love story unfolded effortlessly. They survived quarantine side by side, turned Chicago summers into memories on the water, spent cozy weekends in Wisconsin, and shared countless moves, milestones, and holidays — always hand in hand.
Together they’ve weathered every storm and celebrated every sunrise, including Becca’s courageous fight through cancer. That chapter only deepened their bond — a love built not just on laughter and adventure, but resilience, tenderness, and unwavering devotion.
Knowing Becca’s heart belongs to the mountains, Braden planned the ultimate surprise. With Colorado’s crisp air and breathtaking views surrounding them — and Becca’s family close by — he dropped to one knee at the top of Vail Mountain. Her answer was instant, her smile brighter than the snow beneath their feet.
Now, they’re ready to begin the next chapter of their story — celebrating their forever in a place that captures everything they are: wild, passionate, and endlessly in love.
Welcome to Vail
Welcome to Vail!
We are so excited to celebrate with you in one of our favorite places! Vail holds a special place in our hearts — Becca grew up coming here every summer with her family, and over the years it’s become a destination filled with memories, adventure, and charm. Braden knew how much Becca loved Vail and its where he proposed to her on August 15th 2025.
In the fall, Vail’s beauty truly shines — the air is cool and fresh, the mountains are painted in golden aspen leaves, and the pace feels perfectly relaxed. You’ll find incredible restaurants, cozy fireside lounges, scenic gondola rides, and plenty of outdoor activities for every interest. If shopping is your thing, Vail won’t disappoint — the village is lined with charming local shops and luxury boutiques.
We hope you take a little extra time to explore, unwind, and enjoy everything this mountain town has to offer. The weather can be unpredictable this time of year, so pack layers and be ready for cool mountain mornings and crisp evenings.
Most of all, we can’t wait to welcome you to Vail — to share the beauty, the joy, and the memories that make it such a meaningful place to us. Thank you for traveling to celebrate our wedding; your presence here means the world to us.
