Wedding planning in Mammoth with mom!

Mom and I headed up to Mammoth the day after mother's day. Mom had never been there before and it was such a treat to be together and get the opportunity to go. We of course, were there to do the last of the wedding planning. We got more done in two days in person than I was able to do in 4 months over the phone. Mammoth, of course, was amazing. Beautiful, breathtaking views... but still with a lot of snow on it!!! But it looked gorgeous. No snow in town.


This is the view from the condo where we will be staying the week before our wedding

Mom and I with Wooley Mammoth at the base of the gondola.
We went to see our wedding planner/caterer and checked out the reception site. This is us on the deck of the Mammoth Mountain Inn where our reception will be. Check out that view! And all the little skiiers behind us!
Mom and I tied up loose ends for the reception, as far as table cloths, decorations, etc.
This is the "Dry Creek Bar" just inside from the deck. This is where the partying will take place. Mom was hitting the water, pretty hard.
So much snow still!!! Brrrrrr
Then we also went to see the ceremony site. This is us at Twin Lakes before crossing over to where the Chapel is.
Gorgeous. Just gorgeous. And so peaceful.
This is what you will see when you first pull up to go to the Chapel. This is taken from the parking lot where our guests will park. Then this is the foot bridge you take across towards the Chapel, and go right. It bends around and the Chapel will be on your left against the mountain.
Mom on the bridge.
Yes. We were VERY surprised to find the "Forest Chapel" almost completely covered in snow still.
I of course had to climb on it and jump off of it...
This is mom, standing on the AISLE, between the benches. This is where I'll be standing... very soon!!! Well, hopefully the snow melts by then!

Mom and I stayed at the Swiss Chalet, the home away from home for Dan and I in summer. This is me with Carrie. She runs the place and takes SUCH good care of us! She's so sweet. This is the view you have from the rooms.
Those of you who are staying at the Swiss for our wedding will have a great time. Carrie is great.
Since mom works with convicts, it was only appropriate that we visited Convict Lake.
It was so beautiful!
I feel so lucky to have had this time with you mom! Thank you so much for everything. You are the best. I love you!
