Yet there are special considerations that are unique to Yosemite. Perhaps the very best place to start, if you're already considering getting married in Yosemite, is with how you want your wedding day to feel, what do you want for your wedding day experience?

Talk with your partner and share your thoughts and ideas about how you want your wedding day to feel. Talk about the things that are important to you. Does waking up early to watch the sun rise over the Sierra sound perfect to you? Perhaps a picnic together on the beach? Maybe a wonderful celebration dinner together at the Ahwahnee.
