Tally McNeil & Angelo Lodice

Our Story

Tally and I met almost 7 years ago at the fire house and quickly became friends. Over the last 2 years we have become best friends with each other. We love spending our time away from work with our friends and family, including our 2 boys, Booker the 5 year old Chocolate and Bosco the 2 Year old Yellow, both Labs of course. We enjoy going to the park with them and watching them swim in the river. If we're not at the dog park then we really enjoy getting to the golf course to hit the driving range and if we're lucky enough that day to even get out for a round. We do enjoy making the most of our time together and when we have had the opportunity to get away on a trip we've made the most of it. Just this last Summer Tally showed me where she spent her summers in college by taking me on a week-long rafting trip down the Salmon River in Idaho. I don't think I will ever forget that trip, not just because of the beautiful scenery, but because of the excitement that I saw in Tally when she told me about her time and experiences on the river. Tally and I also love to catch our fair share of Rockies games and Bronco games. We have had the opportunities to see where the other grew up and spent time getting to know and love each others families. It seems as though with every passing day we gain more and more incredible memories. I can honestly say that we are two blessed individuals from all of the support that we have surrounding us in our friends and families.
This is why Tally and I are so excited for our wedding and the celebration that we will be able to share with all of you. It is such a special event and we can’t wait to start this chapter of our lives.

Our Wedding

The wedding ceremony will be held at the Hudson Gardens, 6115 South Santa Fe Drive in Littleton. The ceremony is scheduled to start at 6:00 P.M. but we are asking that everyone be seated 15 minutes prior to this. The service will be held in the Rose Garden. With this being an outdoors wedding in Colorado we are really hoping that the weather will cooperate with us. There is an alternate covered site at the location just in-case of poor weather. But with the likely chance of a beautiful (and possibly hot) Colorado afternoon, we want everyone to be as comfortable as possible.

Our Reception

For everyone that won't be able to make the trip to Colorado for the wedding we are having a reception in Utah that Tally's parents have been putting so much time and energy into. That reception will be take place the evening of August 28th at the beautiful Soldier Hollow Golf Course. I know Tally is so excited to see everyone that she hasn't in some time, and I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the friends and family of the McNeil's that I didn't get to at Ty's wedding. Who knows but maybe we'll even get to shoot a round of golf with everyone that day.

After the wedding, the Colorado reception is taking place at the same location as the ceremony, just in a different site (The Canopy Tent) and shortly after the ceremony. Prior to making your way in the reception site and at any time during the reception, please feel free to take in the sites at the Gardens. For those of you that haven’t seen them before they are incredible. Just be aware that there will most likely be two other events going on at the same time. The dinner menu will consist of a variety of BBQ specialties including chicken, brisket and sausage.

Travel Arrangements

For all of the traveling guests, if you are unfamiliar with Colorado you will most likely be flying into DIA (Denver International Airport) which is approximately a 45 minute drive away from the site and about the same drive to the Hampton Inn & Suites where there is a block of rooms on reserve for anyone that would need one. Their phone number is 303-794-1800 if anybody needs to contact them.

A Special Message From Us

Again Tally and I are so excited for our wedding and the celebration that we will be able to share with all of you. We can’t wait to see everyone and want to say thank you to everyone that is helping and has helped in getting this planned and organized. Everyone has been so helpful and thoughtful. We are also so excited for our honeymoon which we will be leaving for the following week. There are just so many things that we are looking forward to doing in both Germany and Italy and we wanted to go prepared with some of the activities already lined up for us. Thank you all again and we can't wait to see you.
