Those of you visiting this website are probably a part of, or know of, Seth and Mandy's story. Thanks for the impact you have had on our lives, both separate and together.
The story starts the summer of 2003 in a little place we like to call Worlando Beach. A single boy back in town after a year away at college noticed a beautiful young girl fresh out of high school on the streets of Worlando Beach during Harvest Festival in June. The following events are known only to few and available in there entirety on July 11th, but you will just have to be there to find out. Well the summer of bliss ended, and college began again, Mandy in Billings and Seth in Dillon. This chance meeting during the summer of 2003 started the easiest-hardest-best thing to happen to either of us, and transformed into a love and friendship far beyond ones fairytale dreams. We dated for 4 years while seeing each other only sporadically (ranging from every 2 weeks to once every 6-8 weeks) due to our busy college lives, but we talked every night, and continue that to this day. Through our belief in each other, the technology of cell phones and our ever building love toward each other we persevered. We built our relationship despite the vast physical distance that has continually separated us because we followed what we new was true. We have only been getting closer to being with each other since the day we met, and on July 11th 2009 our lives will officially become one. We would love for all of you to come to our special event and celebrate our life long commitment to each other in the mountains that we love so much.
Due to the fact that everything is covered under snow we have yet to pick the exact location of the wedding ceremony, but we due believe that it will be in the near vicinity to the Antelope Butte Ski area located on US HWY14 east of Shell, Wyoming. We are planning on a late afternoon wedding ,4:30pm, on July 11, 2009, with a reception to follow at The Passage Resort just a few miles north of the ski area with meal being served at 7:00pm. We will continue to update this website as the date draws nearer to keep you all informed.
Our reception is planned at The Passage Resort just up the road from the wedding location, and will commence following the wedding ceremony with reception meal starting at 7:00pm. We welcome you to celebrate with us late into the evening through dancing, friendly conversation and all the festivities that you would expect. Lodging is available at the reception location and in the near vicinity at other lodges and camping locations; we highly encourage all of you that may partake in alcohol to please stay on the mountain.
You can look up The Passage Resort website below for directions on how to get there, or search Dayton, WY on a mapquest and locate Burgess Jct on HWY 14. The Passage Resort and Antelope Butte Ski Area are located just pass the Jct between US HWY 14A and US HWY 14 on HWY 14. The rooms at The Passage are quite large, and there are some wonderful camping opportunities very near all of the festivities.

We are very happy and excited about where our journey has taken us...home to one another. Thank you for the impact you have made upon our lives. We love you very much!

P.S. Due to the fact that we love to travel and experience new things, and the fact that we feel we are pretty low key and have a fully functional home we have choose to register through this website. We would like nothing more than just to have your presence at this special event but if you are also looking for that special gift then the gift of a wonderful and memorable honeymoon experience is what we are really looking forward to.
We have also registered at Target, because I have been told every lovely woman loves Target, and every body loves opening a present.
