Wedding Day

Reception

Our Wedding

There once was an accomplished pro bowler named Rhino who was looking for other opportunities in the bowling world. That journey led him (briefly) to Spokane, WA. Upon moving there, he attemped to keep a low profile, but notification of his presence in Spokane spread quickly on the local bowling Facebook page. April, a long time resident of Spokane and lifetime bowler herself saw this "gossip" post on facebook and thought, "Who the heck is that, and why does anybody care?" Many weeks went by without another thought to this Facebook post. Then one day, Rhino ventured out and subbed in a couple of leagues April bowled. It was love at first sight for Rhino. April however, didn't give Rhino much thought. Rhino asked around about April, specifically he asked a local proprietor if he had ever seen April smile. The proprietor thought Rhino was crazy to even ask, and said, "No, not a chance of that happening". Rhino accepted the challenge. Even with a bit of an indifferent start, a friendship between the two developed, and April did start smiling and did start giving Rhino some thought. While the friendship grew, Rhino's dream of owning a bowling center presented itself in Bigfork, MT; leaving April behind in Spokane. Soon after, April realized the thought of Rhino not being a major part of her life was too much to bear. Rhino and April then started their long-distance courtship and April eventually moved to Montana to be with him. Now, they have decided to make the romantic relationship official with as many of their family and friends who are willing to make the trip to NW Montana for their wedding!
