"Our story began when Jackie decided to move back to Montana from Nashville in 2022. We were working for sister companies in the same building, so our paths were bound to cross. Jackie’s father, who happens to be my boss, took me out bird hunting one Montana day. Since he did not attempt to take my life, I took it as a sign that he likes me. I spoke highly about meeting his daughter sometime and left it at that."

When I finally did meet her, she blew me away with her intelligence, beauty and effortless elegance. I knew I had never felt a feeling like that, and I knew I had to make a move. I worked up the courage to ask her on a date, and luckily, she agreed! We went out for our first date, and I was hooked. I could not believe how much I wanted to learn more about her and spend every moment I could with her. We fell in love, as they say. After a year and a half of bliss, I decided to propose. It was a resounding yes! We are so excited for all of our adventures to come, and we can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together!" -Cade, the groom

Wedding Day

"Our wedding was the most magical day of our lives! Surrounded by our family and friends, we said our vows under the big, blue Montana sky. The reception was one for the books. I had a specific vision for our wedding, and I'm happy to say that because of our amazing vendors, it exceeded even my wildest expectations. From the breathtaking florals and tablescapes, to our nerve-wracking first dance, to the caricaturist, to the champagne tower, to the photobooth, to the late-night chicken tenders and fries, to the exquisitely tailor-made desserts and macaron tower, to dancing to 'Unwritten' in a sea of bubbles...and so much more. We would relive it every day if we could!" -Jackie, the bride
