Russ and I got married in the little chapel in the valley of Yosemite National Park. We had our reception at the Yosemite lodge. Only about 40 people made it to the wedding, but it was a perfect day. Immediately after the ceremony, we crossed over to the bridge and opened two magnums of champagne, which we shared with some hikers from Brazil. Needless to say, Yosemite is close to our hearts and we make at least two trips there each year. Luckily we live within driving distance! It is my favorite place on earth.
Sincerely,
Yosemite National Park
With its sculpted granite rock formations, towering ancient sequoia trees and spectacular waterfalls, it's no wonder Yosemite is one of the most celebrated national parks in the world.
State(s): California
