Our Wedding

Sometimes, love finds you in the most unexpected ways. For Will and Blaikley, their story began in 2020, during a time when the world felt uncertain and connections seemed harder to make. Despite both attending Lancaster Catholic High School, their paths never crossed during their school years - they were a few years apart. It wasn't until Blaikley began nannying alongside someone very special to Will - his mom, Sue - that their journey truly began. While working together, Sue often spoke fondly of her son, sharing stories about his character, his time in the Navy, and the adventures he was embarking on while stationed in Whidbey Island, WA. Sue's glowing descriptions caught Blaikley's attention, and curiosity began to grow. Eventually, Blaikley decided to follow Will on Instagram - a small step that would set the foundation for something much bigger. Their online connection quickly turned into real conversations. Despite the challenges of the COVID pandemic, Will and Blaikley found ways to deepen their relationship, even from a distance. Blaikley soon started traveling to Whidbey Island to visit Will, where they spent precious time together exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest and building memories that strengthened their bond. After a year and a half of long-distance, they decided to start a new chapter together and moved to Jacksonville, FL. In their new home, they built a life full of shared dreams, laughter, and the joy of simply being together. Fast forward to December 2023, during a trip to the St. Regis in Park City, UT, Will got down on one knee and asked Blaikley to spend forever with him. It was a magical moment that perfectly captured their unique journey - one that started with a little nudge from Sue and grew into a lifetime of love. Now, Will and Blaikley are thrilled to celebrate their love story with all of you! They can't wait to bring together their closest friends and family to mark the beginning of this exciting new chapter.

With a depth of 65 feet and an average temperature of 95 degrees, the hour-glass shaped geothermal hot spring located on the property of Homestead. It is the ultimate destination for scuba divers and scuba enthusiasts across the globe. You can even get scuba certified at the only warm scuba destination in the Continental US. All levels of experience are welcome, so you don’t have to be a scuba diving expert to visit the Utah Crater. If you aren’t scuba certified, we have highly trained staff that can dive with you to give you a once in a lifetime experience. If scuba diving isn’t on your agenda, you can simply swim, soak, snorkel on the surface, or even just tour the hot spring. Custom-built decks that go into the water make it easy to sit back and recharge in the magic of the geothermal waters. Lifejackets are supplied by the Utah Crater, so the whole family can experience the warm mineral water and relax.

Homestead Crater

The Uintas are a magical mountain range close to Park City with quite an array of high alpine lakes. The Lofty Lakes Loop showcases some beautiful scenery and blooming wildflowers if you happen to head there during peak bloom, usually mid-July through early August. This hike starts at the Pass Lake Trailhead just off Mirror Lake Highway near Pass Lake. There are two trailheads for this hike - one in the NW corner of the parking lot and one in the southern area. We hiked this route in a counter-clockwise direction, so we started from the NW corner TH. If you want to hike this in a clockwise direction, start from the southern end trailhead. The trail is slightly rocky, but very gradual and well defined. The first lake you come across is small yet quite picturesque - no wonder it’s called Picturesque Lake! Continuing, Scout Lake comes into view, and it’s a spectacular spot with droves of wildflowers blooming. A perfect place to set up a picnic. The trail then starts to increase elevation as you hike towards a small pass between Scout and Lofty Lakes. As you make your way over the small pass, you get beautiful views of not only Lofty Lake but the many peaks surrounding you. Past Lofty Lake, you will start to descend a few switchbacks and have another excellent view, this time of Cutthroat Lake. Stay left at a faint trail split, and you should be hiking directly south where you will come to Kamas Lake. As you head back to the parking lot, you’ll see a lot of great signage to direct you where you need to go.

Deer Valley Resort's Silver Lake Trail is a moderate hiking trail designated as a foot-traffic only, so you’re guaranteed more tranquility as you hike through the peaceful landscape. This trail is perfect during the summer when wildflowers bloom and fall when the aspens begin to turn their golden hue. The path is a gorgeous hike that is well marked and starts at the bottom of the Deer Valley Silver Lake chairlift and ends at the top of Bald Mountain with picturesque cliffs on one side and a bird’s eye views the Heber Valley on the other. When you start to hike up, you will navigate a narrow trail of dense trees. Climbing higher, you will pop in and out of aspen groves, and cross over ski runs and under lift lines, the scenery is on display as it opens up to panoramic views of the Jordanelle Reservoir. The last 600 feet of elevation is a steep push, but you will continue to enjoy the 360-degree views of Park City and beyond once at the top.
