"I took my wife to GFM for our first vacation while we were dating. She always said, "if we get married I want to get married at GFM." Well I proposed to her on the cliffs of GFM and we married on September 30, 2006 but could not get everyone up on the mountain so we married in MacRae Meadow at the base of GFM. It was great. We come back each year on our anniversary. " John Suffolk, VA |
