Our Story
How it started...
How it's going...
We've had a lot of ups
And the occasional down
We moved across a state, then a country
Created a whole lot of silliness on the way
Here's to a lifetime of silliness!
Thank you for all the gifts! Gifts of time spent together and precious memories made, hilarious and fond stories told, pitching in to make our wedding weekend magical and beautiful, cards and books with lovely thoughtful notes written, and cash to kick start our new married lives. We can't thank you enough for being part of our community! Here's to many more <3

Friends of Lucy and JMei will play party games, hang out, and have smores at the firepits. This is our version
of a stag & hen (bachelor & bachelorette). Warning: may involve friendly competition and mild physical
exertion for victims willing participants. Snacks and alcohol provided.

All guests invited to the main lodge to partake in a selection of teas from China and India, courtesy of Lucy and JMei's recent travels, while we get ready. Snacks and refreshments also available.

Denver, the Rockies, and more broadly Colorado have been some of our favourite places to travel and explore!
We highly encourage everyone, especially first-timers, to spend more time in the area, and have included some
ideas and favo(u)rite places in the Location section.
Note that both Denver and Estes Park are at high altitude. Please bring altitude sickness remedies with you if
you anticipate any issues. We will have a limited amount of Coca tea on hand.
Correct. We really do just want to see you there!
If it truly pains your soul not to give something, we promise to not turn down cash gifts.
(and we determine that they are frequent)

Interactive art exhibit in a warehouse.
Historic district where modern Denver was founded.
Gourmet market in artsy and brew-happy Rino district.
Estes Park, Colorado
World class national park covering the most beautiful lakes and peaks of the Rockies. Particular favourites include Alberta Falls, Emerald Lake, and (if you're up for a challenge) Long's Peak, one of Colorado's many 14ers (over 14'000 ft elevation).
Their killer breakfast burritos once saved our lives when we tried to hike during a winter storm.
Diner serving all-American breakfast and lunch.
Coffee, need I say more?
The hotel that inspired Stephen King to write the Shining.
Colorado
Amazing hikes, rock climbing, and food!
Another Colorado 14er, but this one you can drive to the top.
Like the name says, a red rocks adventureland.
Natural hot springs to soak off any hiking soreness.
Get to Denver, CO and we'll take it from there!
