Welcome! Bienvenidos! Thanks for visiting our website!
We are looking forward to a gorgeous Fall wedding in the idyllic and historic setting of the Old-West town of Gila, NM. (Pronounced HEE-La). Zach and I will be married in a small Catholic church that was built at least 100 years ago.
The
legacy of the old Lyons-Campbell L.C. Ranch, founded in 1876, is fraught with
tales of hard-work, intrigue, love-affairs, and opportunism, as is so
common a story found in our rich Old-West American history. This remarkable
setting is where our wedding reception will be held. The old saloon/General
Store is located on what WAS the main street of Gila at one time. Next to
the saloon is the old town jail.

If
you are lucky, you may catch our gracious host and capable bartender Alex
Ochletree at the perfect moment to regale you of tales of Gila's history that
could so easily be lost only to fable. This history lives on through the
re-telling and if you are lucky, the re-living inside of your imagination! As
you stand there amongst some of this countries coolest relics of American
history, to be there now is almost like being there then. You may here the
clip-clop of horse hooves as a carriage rides by, the clinking of glasses and
beer bottles in the old fully packed bar complete with gambling card tables, and
bullet-holes in the mirror. The cool old tin-pressed ceiling was featured in the
movie Tombstone.
This lovely colorful setting will make our day that much more special.
We've put this site together for all of you to share these happy moments with us as we begin our new life together, especially since many we love will not be able to make such a long trip.

With all of our love!
