Our Wedding

LOVE IS SPOOKY, LOVE IS KIND 

Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Alex whose precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an invasion of annoying fairy tale characters. They were all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad. Determined to save their home, not to mention his, Alex cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue Princess T to be Farquaad's bride. Rescuing the Princess may be small compared to her deep, dark secret.

"So, I'm gonna woman up and take it like a man
Gotta buckle up, be tough enough
To give 'em hell and take command
Soft like a woman, strong like a man
Stick to my guns and have a plan
Gotta woman up and take it like a man"
-Dolly Parton-

Try and play the role and yo, the whole crew'll act up
Get up, stand up
(C'mon) c'mon, throw your hands up
If ya got the feelin', jump up towards the ceilin'"

"The first thing I remember knowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a young un's dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leavin' town
Not knowin' where I'm bound
And no one could change my mind"

Many guest have asked us about the cross-country Amtrak to Whitefish Montana. There is a train that runs from many stations on the east coast out west, through the Flathead valley and Glacier National Park. It is a beautiful train ride where guests can see all the majesty Montana has to offer however, keep in mind that passenger trains always run second to and are delayed by cargo trains on the U.S. railroad system therefore; your arrival date as projected by your ticket will most likely be delayed by DAYS! Amtrak is a better option for commuting home from the wedding then to the wedding due to the delays in schedule you will have as a passenger. If you decided to ride the train to our wedding build in an extra week at least as to not miss the big day (Oct. 31st). From the Amtrak Station in Whitefish MT. to the wedding venue is a scenic three and a half hour drive also prepare and plan for this.

The Blodgett Canyon Overlook trail is a smokejumper memorial trail leading to a beautiful overlook and observation point. The trail head is located several miles form Hamilton Montana and includes a forest service parking lot, bathroom and, several access points to hiking on the Bitterroot National Forest. This trail is a project both the groom and bride have worked to maintain during their careers on forest and is near and dear to their hearts. The overlook trial is family friendly and a quick hour or so hike with a semi-substantial elevation gain. There is also a more flat but longer trail that takes off from the same trail head location which winds through the bottom of the canyon and is more promising for our flatlander friends. Maps available posted at the trail head or online via Strava and On-X Hunt mapping applications.
