…A Yellowstone visitor captured a video of a wedding at Artist Point at the Lower Falls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

The video filmed the most breathtaking moment of any wedding: The bride making her way down the aisle or, in this case up the stairs to the landing that gives the best view of the Lower Falls on the southern rim of the canyon.

The sight of the bride at a wedding usually is a happy, joyous image, but many who saw the video of this bride on “Yellowstone: Invasion of the Idiots” were seething instead.

That’s because a sign proclaiming the “Private Function” at the bottom of the stairs leading to the Artist Point overlook was a clear indicator that nobody other than the wedding guests were welcome on the landing, which is one of the most popular and picturesque spots in Yellowstone.

Being uninvited to a wedding is one thing, but driving hundreds — or perhaps thousands — of miles to visit the national park to find it inaccessible is quite another. The national parks belong to all Americans, for better and for worse, in sickness and in health.
