Our Wedding

Our story begins in April 2018 at one of Arizona's most romantic spots - the Maya Dayclub pool ;). After being loose acquaintances via a mutual friend for several months, we got to talking at length at Maya and quite literally never stopped. Something clicked and from there our relationship took off. Over the last five years together we've done some pretty incredible things. Including many trips to Montana and Hawaii to visit Kwyn's family, Michigan and San Diego to visit Sage's family, Austin, Vegas, Chicago and more. We've also bonded over our shared love for sports (both as participants and observers), outdoors, trying new things and going new places.

Let's take it back to 2018...

Sage proposed on top of A Mountain in Tempe; one of the first places we went when we started dating and continued to frequent throughout our relationship. The short but steep hike gets you high enough to view the entire valley and he planned it perfectly for sunset. Any time we've hiked or gone anywhere with a view, we set up a phone and record a video that we can screenshot pictures from later. In the middle of this posing session, just as the sun was beginning to set, Sage dropped to a knee and popped the big question. I was completely taken by surprise, and though I blacked out from excitement for a minute, I can safely say it was one of the best moments of my life. Getting to tell everyone the news after made it even more special.

Kwyn is SO excited for you to see her hometown. Kalispell is a popular summer tourist destination with Glacier National Park located nearby.&nbsp; Glacier National Park is a must-see but requires both Vehicle Registration AND an Entry Pass. In other words, don't just drive up on the day you want to go and expect to get in!&nbsp; Planning Ahead is Easy -&nbsp;A portion of vehicle reservations will be available 120 days or approximately four months in advance at 8 am MST on a daily rolling basis.Next Day vehicle reservations will be available at 7 pm MDT for next-day entry starting on May 23, 2024 on a daily rolling basis. In addition to a vehicle reservation, visitors must also have a park pass or pay an entrance fee to enter the park. A park pass or entrance fee is required to access any entry point within Glacier National Park. Park passes and entrance passes are not the same as vehicle reservations. Park passes and entrance passes are available for purchase at park entrances or online at Recreation.gov. Visitors who already possess a valid entrance pass, such as an Annual, Senior, Access, Military, etc., do not need to purchase another pass. To plan your trip to Glacier Park, visit https://www.nps.gov/glac/index.htm. If you don't end up securing a vehicle pass to Glacier, but still want to do some hiking and exploring there a TONS of other options. Consider looking into the Jewel Basin, Lone Pine State Park and Herron Park.&nbsp; If you're not outdoorsy, there are a lot of other fun, touristy activities like zip lining, gondola rides, walk-in-the-trees, The Maze and more. The options are endless so we definitely encourage doing some research and finding things you like!&nbsp;
