Love Stories

Avery + Ian


Ian and I met in high school. I was a sophomore and he was a senior! We've been together ever since, and over the past seven years, it's been the most fun and meaningful experience growing up together.



I always had a feeling engagement was in our future, but I didn’t know when Ian would pop the question. In early June, we went on a hike in Red Lodge. Let me tell you, I complained the entire way up. Ian kept saying, “We’re almost there!” (Spoiler: we weren’t.)




When we finally reached the top, I asked Ian to set up my phone for a photo. He started recording a video instead, and that’s when he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I was overwhelmed with emotion, and cried the entire way back down the trail.

Right after getting engaged, we both knew exactly where we wanted to get married, Wildflower. We went to a wedding there last summer and totally fell in love with the place. After meeting Keri and seeing it all again, we knew it was the perfect spot to start our forever!!
