Our Wedding

While initially connecting via a dating app, Lane and Marci met up for the first time at Gold Rush (Montana State's football season opener). After the game, Marci went with Lane and Dylan, Lane's younger brother, to the Korner Klub in Bozeman. Following that day, we stayed connected via daily FaceTime calls and began a long-distance relationship. We made several trips back and forth between Bozeman and Portland, along with a few other fun trips to watch NFL games and to watch the Cats play in the national championship game in Texas. Lane proposed at Manito Park in Spokane, our halfway point between Belgrade and Portland, on a beautiful snowy day in February, even secretly hiring a photographer to capture the moment (thanks, Kirsten!). August 16th will mark one year since we matched online (one of the reasons we chose the date). We are so excited to begin the next chapter of our lives and to celebrate the occasion with you all!

Accommodations

Montana has so many things to see and do, but here are a few of our favorites!

Places to Explore

Some of our favorite places to explore, near and far

Glacier National Park is about a 2.5-hour drive from Great Falls, but offers some of the best views in the state!

Glacier National Park

Yellowstone National Park is about a 4-hour drive from the Great Falls area, but is famous for a reason. There is a 0% chance of running into the Dutton family, but guaranteed for some gorgeous landscapes and wildlife viewing!

Places to Eat

Some of our favorite places to eat and drink, near and far

The Kolar family's favorite pizza in the Great Falls area! Any location serves up some great 'za, but the Howard's Pizza Winemill on the east side of town is our go-to! Recommendations - french fries (dipped in ranch), Howard's special, paired with a cold one

Howard's Pizza

Another Kolar family staple! Don't expect authentic Mexican cuisine, but for fast-food tacos, it rises above the rest! Recommendations: cheese crisp, beef corn taco, beef or cheese enchiladas, tater treats with cheese - all covered in any one of their hot sauces!

Taco Treat

Owned by Marci's cousin, the Mighty Mo offers great beer and delicious pizza, right in the heart of downtown Great Falls! Recommendations: Dam Fog (where it all started) and any of their pizzas
