Our Wedding

It all started over ten years ago at horse shows — dusty arenas, early mornings, and a friendship that neither of us knew would turn into something so much bigger. Fast forward a few years and a few life lessons later, and fate — with a little help from our dear mutual friend, Ladybug — decided it was finally time. Brandon, after some gentle encouragement (okay, maybe not so gentle), finally asked me out. My first impression of him all those years ago still holds true: I thought, “Someday I want to marry a man just like him.” The way he treats people, how he’s always the first to lend a hand, and that constant smile and laugh — it’s impossible not to love. Our first date was one for the books: Brandon flew us to breakfast in Idaho City on his airplane. (He really set the bar high for future dates!) From that day on, we were pretty much inseparable. Thirteen months later, surrounded by our kids and the stunning mountain views of Stanley, Idaho — the mountains being our favorite place — Brandon proposed as the sun set behind the peaks. It couldn’t have been more perfect. We even were blessed with a double rainbow after the proposal. Now here we are, ready for our next adventure — together.
