Our 2016 Valentine's Day Vow Renewal Event was a Success!

The ice, snow, and subfreezing temperatures of Valentine's Day 2016 were melted away by the love of 240 couples renewing their wedding vows at Bridal Cave.  This extremely popular annual event at the Lake of the Ozarks was successful again this year.  In addition to the vow renewals, two couples said "I do" for the first time in our unique wedding chapel after the renewal event.  

 With the help of the Camden County Road Crew and Bridal Cave's awesome staff, all of the Thunder Mountain Roads were cleared and ready for visitors by the promised time of 9:00 am.  The wintry weather kept a lot of people at home early in the day, but they definitely made their way to us before we stopped at 4:00 pm.      

Our incredible staff, packing goody bags and clearing the parking lot!
"My husband and I came and renewed our vows yesterday with you. Ed and I Want to thank you so much for inviting us and making our 25th the a most special Valentine's day . The staff made me feel like a young bride all over again. The ceremony was perfect!! As we said our vows, I felt like I did 25 years ago saying them for the first time full of love and joy. Thank God for this beautiful cave and thank you the staff of Bridal Cave, for using Gods gift in such a special way on Valentines. Thanks!"  ~Donna Madewell

 Fun Facts for 2016

 This year our annual wedding vow renewals at the Lake of the Ozarks assisted 240 couples in saying their vows to each other all over again.  That was only 5 short of last year's record, but we'll blame the weather for that!  Here are a few more interesting statistics from our 2016 event.  

  • 240 couples renewed their vows.
  • 5 of those couples were originally married on Valentine's Day.
  • Our newest couple had been married for 9 months.
  • Our longest-married couple first said their vows 60 years ago.
  • 7 states were represented, the furthest traveling from Louisville, KY.  

Every couple went home with a goody bag full of treats and discounts from lake area businesses.  The extra flowers that we had left over were donated to area nursing homes and hospitals.  Bridal Cave spread a lot of love this Valentine's Day!

"We celebrated our 25th on Dec 18th, but looked forward to renewing our vows yesterday. We renewed our 20 year anniversary as well with Bridal Cave. It is such a wonderful event, our grandson was with us and at age 6 he was mesmerized with the cave. He is ready to take a whole tour he said . We will be back soon, thank you for such a wonderful memory." ~ Brenda Keller

Thank you to all of the couples that braved the cold weather and joined us for this amazing annual event at the Lake of the Ozarks.  Our scenic cave in mid-Missouri is a beautiful and romantic place to say "I do," so much so, that many of our couples come back year after year.  If you are lucky enough to be married to your true love, make plans now to join us for our vow renewals in 2017 at Bridal Cave.

Explore Thunder Mountain Park

Image
The most scenic cave tour in Missouri is surrounded by the natural beauty of Thunder Mountain Park .  This incredible Lake of the Ozarks attraction  covers hundreds of acres.  It spreads over more than a mile of Lake of the Ozraks shoreline, a mile of highway frontage along Old Missouri Route 5, and all the acreage in between.  That is a lot of nature to be explored! Establishing the park Thunder Mountain Park was established in 1950 in order to protect the caves within it.  The amazing colors and incredible onyx formations inside of Bridal Cave  are all formed by minerals from rain water that seeps into the ground. This is a process called deposition.  Preserving the natural state of the park above the cave prevents any changes to the surface area, which could have a detrimental impact on the deposition process.  Protecting the surface area protects the water quality, which in turn protects the cave.     Aerial view of Thunder Mountain before 1950 A unique, rural attra

The History of Bridal Cave

Image
Bridal Cave has a very interesting past.  It's story goes back long before the Lake of the Ozarks was created.  As early as 8,000 BC, Native Americans were using caves in the area for shelter, and more than likely Bridal Cave was one of those used.  We will begin this tale with the first organized exploration over 150 years ago of what is now known as one the best attractions at the Lake of the Ozarks . Bridal Cave Visitors Center, 1968 1856   The first organized exploration of portions of Bridal Cave is recorded.  B.D. Dodson is credited with this feat.  The next major exploration is done by S.W. Burke four years later.   1894 Over 5400 acres of land is purchased by Colonel R.G. Scott.  That area is now known as Ha Ha Tonka State Park, and it includes Bridal Cave.  Colonel Scott is very impressed and wants to know how it got the name Bridal Cave, so he begins researching the subject.  He is credited for being the first person to publish the now famous legend of Brida
