The story of our wedding really begins in
Geneva, Switzerland. This is where Ellen and
I started our quest to get married, we spent the afternoon
and evening
there before
taking the train to
Zermatt. When we finally got to Zermatt,
, we quickly
took some photos of the
Matterhorn
because we
knew that we might not see it again for the whole trip, and unfortunately, we
were correct! Ellen and I checked into our hotel, the
Hotel Perren where we had the
Matterhorn Suite.
Here's a short video of our room
(remember, videos will take a LONG time to download, so please be patient!),
plus a short video of the view off
of our terrace. Elle and I had an extra day to do some sight seeing in Zermatt,
so we hiked up to the Moos Restaurant
for lunch. And
when I say we hiked, we literally hiked, it took us a good amount of time to get
to this restaurant which was in the middle of nowhere.
. That
afternoon after lunch I took the underground mountain train to
Sunnegga,
where I
decided to hike back down to Zermatt, as the signs told me the hike was only 75
minutes.
As I learned right away, those times are all relative depending on which route
you took, eventually every sign pointed to Zermatt
, so the hike
really took me about 2.5 hours. However, along the way
the hike went
thru tiny mountain villages
which were
basically deserted because the weather was so bad. So I kept hiking along
til I reached
a rock climbing wall which overhung the valley
, and then I
found the Matterhorn training route.
Finally, I
figured I should really find Zermatt again, so I followed a narrow trail
which led me
to a road that took me back to the village.
All the guests
showed up in Zermatt the next day, so we figured it was time to show them a real
Swiss meal. We decided to take the guests to the
Hotel Julen for some
cheese fondue.
.
After fondue, we went for the obligatory drinks the night before the wedding.
