Eric and Noelle both woke up early and ended up meeting for breakfast before splitting up for the rest of the day before the wedding. Eric spent his pre-wedding time with his friends Mike, Dan, Tracy, and Staci.
They walked a nice level trail to Lonestar Geyser. Along the way they were treated to beautiful scenery and a glimpse of some wildlife; a closeup view of some elk. They arrived at Lonestar just after it had erupted, but they were luckily able to at least see Lonestar in its "steam phase".
After spending time at the geyser and hiking back to the car, Eric was running seriously low on time, so he changed into his wedding suit in the Lonestar Geyser trailhead parking lot. Noelle spent the day with her family exploring the Midway Geyser Basin, Fountain Paint Pots, and Firehole Lake Drive.
Eric hiked up to Observation Point with his family at about 4 o'clock and Noelle followed with her family shortly after.
The ceremony was amazing and Noelle looked beautiful. It was a short ceremony performed by the Yellowstone National Park chaplain, Bill Young.
After the ceremony and some photos we headed down to the geyser basin. On the way we were treated by an eruption of Beehive Geyser.
After watching Old Faithful erupt, Eric and Noelle spent some time alone hiking around the Upper Geyser Basin.
At about 8 that evening everyone met at the Old Faithful Inn for a delicious dinner. After dinner a tired group of revelers headed back to Grant Village where most of us headed straight to bed.
