How We Met 

November 16, 2015

A Tale of Love, Adventure, and Destiny 

Alana and Mike's story really began years ago, before either of them even knew it. Alana had spent many summers in Park City staying at a family friend's home, just a street away from where Mike grew up in Jeremy Ranch. Although they never really met when they were kids, they would later discover that they played in the same treehouse that Mike and his friends had built. They did not formally meet until they were both working at Montage, many years later (November 16, 2015 to be exact) and although this initial encounter was brief and they didn't get to know each other very well, fate would have a way of crossing their paths once again. After quite some time apart, Alana's father's friend offered her a position on his real estate team that Mike had serendipitously joined years prior. Mike had even gotten on a phone call with Alana about making the move, and little did they know that this reunion would mark the beginning of a beautiful journey together. As their relationship blossomed, Alana and Mike realized they shared not only a deep love for each other, but also a shared vision for their future. They took a leap of faith, branching off on their own business endeavor. Together they are building a future filled with love, success, and endless possibilities.&nbsp; Their passion for everything Park City has to offer, the amazing adventures they have shared traveling to beautiful destinations, and their love of animals have played a significant role in their lives.&nbsp;They have built their home with their kitty cats Cubbie and Milo, and recently decided to bring a new member to the family- a playful and mischievous puppy named Butters. With their furry companions by their side, Alana and Mike's love continues to grow stronger, creating a bond that will last a lifetime. Now, as they stand on the threshold of forever, Alana and Mike are ready to embark on the greatest adventure of all – marriage. Surrounded by their beloved family and friends, their love story will continue to unfold, filled with laughter, joy, and countless memories yet to be made. Join us as we celebrate the love and union of Alana and Mike, two souls who were destined to find each other, amidst the beauty of Park City.

The Proposal 

November 11, 2023

A Moment of Love and Serenity

Alana and Mike had planned a trip this last November to the Hawaiian islands to celebrate their second anniversary and were having an absolutely wonderful time. They had just left Oahu for Kauai, and little did Alana know that this day would forever be etched in their hearts as the day Mike would propose. Mike had been meticulously planning this momentous occasion for several months and had stashed a custom-made ring along with him on their trip, for this particular day. He had told Alana they had dinner reservations and needed to get their early to take a little hike to enjoy the beautiful sunset at Shipwreck Beach. As they strolled up the path to the breathtaking viewpoint, Mike's heart raced with anticipation. He had arranged for a photographer to meet them up there and was trying so hard to not give any indication of the wonderful thing he was about to do. With trembling hands and a heart full of love, Mike dropped to one knee, his eyes locked with Alana's, and asked her to be his forever. In that moment, time stood still. Alana unfortunately can't remember exactly what he said, but knows it was perfect! Overwhelmed with joy and tears streaming down her face, she said yes. The world seemed to burst with happiness as they embraced, their souls intertwining in a moment of pure bliss. The photographer captured every precious second of this incredible moment, ensuring that this memory would be forever preserved. The dinner reservations were also real, so they did have a wonderful celebratory dinner after at the Tidepools restaurant at the Grand Hyatt. nestled in a little hut on the water, surrounded by graceful Koi fish. Not bad Mikie!

Wedding Party 

Get to know a little about our wedding party! These are our people &lt;3

Bridal Party

We all seek to find someone to be our “person”, but I have been lucky enough to call Alana my person for 20 plus years. From elementary school to moving in together starting our new chapters as adults, we have been through it all. She is the kind of friend that may not always be there with you, but she will always be there for you. I can’t think of a more deserving person to find true love than Alana. I feel so honored to continue on this journey with her into this new chapter with Mikie.

Hi there, my name is Whitney, better know as BB, Alana’s blonde b*tch! A nickname we came up for each other while doing side work at Montage, which is where our story began! This is also where we met Mikie. He didn’t really have much hair then either, so he wasn’t part of our BB club😉 

As you get older you get to be selective in the friends that you choose to hold near and dear, it’s all about quality over quantity, and that is exactly what Alana is to me. I cherish our bond. She is the friend that always brings a smile to my face, where laughter is always a constant. 

I am so lucky that we found each other and our friendship continues to grow. An honor to stand by her side as she begins life’s newest adventures as a wife!

I grew up in Orange County, CA and work as an urgent care physician assistant. Alana and I met on the first day of 5th grade. I remember she was dressed in a cute dress and large bow in her hair. We became best friends and have been inseparable ever since. One of my favorite memories is laughing until we cried at my 21st birthday party. We also had the best time being roommates for a year in Los Angeles. Alana has always felt like a sister to me and I can’t wait to see her get married!

Groom's Party 

My name is Bret Fields and I’m moved to Park City Utah Nov 2001 right before the 2002 Winter Olympics. It was not an easy transition leaving the only thing I ever knew. But meeting people like Mikie at Park City High School solidified It was where I was meant to be at that time. We shared almost everything in common from snowboarding to having the coolest Tahoes with the loudest bumping sound systems in school and most importantly, he was the only person I knew that worked as hard as me or harder while attending high school. He has always been closer to me as a brother than my own blood brothers have ever been. Mikie has been there for me in good times and in bad. Even though I misspelt his name until Alana corrected me recently lol. I will stand by his side, no matter what, because of it all forever I love you brother!

Bret Fields 

What’s up everybody! It’s Rock or Rockdogg according to Mikers! It’s all started as kids watching wwf pay per view, sleep overs and stealing golf balls off the course at night! From Panda Express double orders, crushing main in the Tahoe to spring break in Daytona - we have always had each others back! Mikie is truly one of the most loyal and best friends I have ever had and I am truly grateful to call him my brother!

Sometimes, someone shows up in your life and quickly becomes family. That is what happened when I met Mike, AKA Mikie, AKA WESTSIDE, AKA Mr. Get Over here! Over a decade ago—wow, it’s been a long time. There have been many laughs and amazing times, too many to share here, but I do know one thing, those things will continue. If you know this guy, you know how big his heart is. Have just as many laughs, great memories, and lots of love for him too. A great man through and through! Congratulations, brother. Love you!

Miguel "Migs" Flores 

Hello everyone, my name is Ollie Bywater and I’ve known Mikie since we were little kids growing up playing football. Some of my best memories with Mikie are all the trips we’ve taken in the past, whether it was in Mexico or the Virgin Islands. Also some more of the best memories with Mikie were playing flag football for years, Mikie was always my quarterback, and I was his go to wide receiver. When the game was on the line, or a big play was to be had, Mikie would always throw it up to me, and I’d catch it, boom we win the game! I’m happy to call Mikie one of my best friends, and better yet, my brother, love ya buddy!

Unfortunately not unless a +1 is specified when you RSVP online, as we have strict guest limit.

Q + A

Zermatt is a cute resort in Midway not far away from where our wedding will take place. A little more remote and exudes a very rustic Swiss mountain charm. You can book directly through them, or they have units on Airbnb and VRBO.

Zermatt Utah Resort & Spa

Contemporary resort right across the way from our house. A little further in distance from where our wedding will be, but closer to Park City and nice amenities.

Black Rock Mountain Resort

Nice affordable option in Park City.

Park City Peaks Hotel

Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC)

There are a ton of Airbnbs and VRBOS for all different property types. If you want to bring an RV to camp, you can do that too!! Jordanelle State Park is a great option for camping!
