Love Stories

Mandi Jo + Lane

Lane and Mandi Jo grew up in the same town, but did not connect until after high school. In October 2020, they were introduced to each other (again) through mutual friends. Mandi Jo and Lane developed a quick friendship, as they bonded over similar hobbies. They then decided to start a relationship with each other in January 2021. At the time, Mandi Jo was attending college in Laramie, and Lane was attending college in Colorado. They dated long-distance for 3 years before moving to Cody, Wyoming in 2024.

On January 1st 2025, Lane was adamant on taking a drive down the South Fork to look for wildlife. The entire drive there, Lane was very quiet, and anxiously tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. When we made it to an area where you can pull off the road and look over a beautiful river and mountain range, Lane got out of the truck to take a few pictures. He asked Mandi Jo to follow him, so they could take a picture together. To Mandi Jo’s surprise, he popped the question overlooking the beautiful terrain, and he managed to catch it all on video to have the memory forever.

We look forward most to the beautiful barn and the backdrop of the mountains! Wildflower has plenty of space for all our family and friends to help us celebrate our love.
