The best part of the venue: “The best part was the views! We also loved being able to camp with so many of our friends at the place we met, got engaged, and got married!”

Favorite part of your gown: “It was the only dress I tried on that made me feel like a bride but still like myself. I loved the lace, the color, the fit, everything. (And as a bonus it dried quickly after it rained during the ceremony!)”

Why did you pick your dress: “I wanted a dress that felt like me - a little adventurous, fun, and down to dance all night long.”

How you met: “Charlie and I met skiing at SkiLand and had our first date skiing in the Eastern Alaska Range.”

How they proposed: “We went biking and ended our ride on SkiLand's "wedding rock" - Charlie got down on one knee, bike helmet and fanny pack still on, and the rest is history.”

Any other fun memories / moments from the day: “The whole day felt like this incredible celebration of our community - people from across the country laughing and eating together, my heart has never been so full.”
