Cynthia had been wanting to try dinner at Frasca in Boulder for years, so we thought it would make a nice 40th birthday treat!
Wedding Day Attire
Cynthia and Amy are wearing fairly traditional wedding dresses, but that’s about it as far as any level of formality goes. (They will both likely be wearing comfortable shoes!)
We want you to enjoy having an occasion for dressing up but to also feel comfortable and relaxed, so wear whatever would feel best to you.
The ceremony will be held outdoors, on a partially shaded grass lawn that’s set against a mountain backdrop. If it rains, we’ll move inside to the dining hall.
ATTN. DISNEY FANS!
Share our love of Disney by wearing your Magic Bands to the wedding. We’ll be wearing ours!
Happy LGBT Pride Day 2015
We created this image shortly after finalizing our wedding venue in June 2015, just in time for Pride!
Place Settings for Reception Dinner Tables
We recently met with the Lionscrest wedding coordinator to review our choices for decor and schedule, and I took these photos of our dinner table choices to help those who are helping with table decorations.
Here’s our choice for the “bridal party” table (plum table cloth and ivory napkins):
And here’s our choice for the remaining dinner tables (ivory table cloth with napkins alternating in plum and sage):

Time Travel to 2006
We first met and dated for a while in 2006. Amy even managed to persuade Cynthia to go camping!
Directions to Lionscrest Manor
Lionscrest Manor is up in the foothills west of Lyons, CO, which is west of Longmont.
The “Contact Us” page on the Lionscrest web site has directions from Boulder, Denver, and Northern Colorado.
The address to use for a map app is: 603 Indian Lookout Road, Lyons CO 80540
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Indian Lookout Road is on the west side of Hwy 36, about a third of a mile north of the town of Lyons. The turn can be hard to spot, so also be on the lookout for the Lionscrest Manor sign.
The road is unpaved, and it heads up the side of a tall hill, with a steady climb and quite a few gentle switchbacks. You’ll pass residences on the left and right, but just keep going. Lionscrest Manor is all the way at the top!
