For all of us at Dave Hansen River Trips here in Jackson, Wyoming,<\/a> there is nothing more exciting than being able to take a wedding party down the whitewater section of the Snake River. We love to celebrate L-O-V-E, especially if it involves rapids, paddles, and PFD\u2019s (our owners Bud and Kelly fell in love on the Snake River and got married in Jackson, for gosh sakes!). When we get to witness the dynamic of new friends and old friends meeting for the first time, parents and grandparents getting out of their comfort zone for the sake of the bride and groom-to-be, and the bride and groom letting loose before (or after) the big day, we get giddy and nostalgic for romance, ourselves.<\/p>\n

Gavin & Allison’s wedding rafting party! Look at that crowd!<\/em><\/p>\n

That being said, this past Labor Day weekend was a special one for us. We were lucky enough to take sixty guests from Gavin and Allison\u2019s wedding down the river on Saturday morning. Not only did the entire wedding party have a ridiculously amazing time getting soaked and paddling hard through the rapids, Gavin and Allison were treated like river royalty. They sported his-and-her cowboy hats and a \u201cJust Married\u201d sign on the back of their 8-man raft, plus they even got to ride the bull through the largest rapid on the river right now—Big Kahuna. We feel honored to have been a part of their wedding weekend here in Jackson, and we couldn\u2019t be happier for two amazing people who have a fun an adventurous life ahead of them!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Raft on, Gavin and Allison, and congratulations to the coolest couple getting married in Jackson this summer!<\/p>\n

Gavin, after their trip with us: \u201cYou all have been incredibly accommodating, and given us an experience beyond what we expected! Thank you so much, Dave Hansen!\u201d<\/p>\n
