The best part of the venue: “The huge field and view!”

Why did you pick your venue: “The beautiful view, it was the perfect size for guests, and honestly it saved us a lot of money! Plus it ended up feeling so comfortable!”

Favorite part of your gown: “I loved how elegant and stunning it is! It is so simple and so beautiful. (Plus pockets!)”

Why did you pick your dress: “I started crying before I even saw it on. It felt so perfect! My family’s reaction mirrored that, and no other dress compared. The buttons all the way to the floor, and exposed boning are such perfect details. When Rachel put a veil on me it was game over.”

Your inspiration for the wedding: “We wanted it to be the perfect day for us! Close family and friends, fun, drinking, and good food! Zach worked on the Time Bandit this winter, and brought home a box of crab from the boat for dinner! We skipped dancing because neither of us enjoys that, and spent time with our friends and family the whole night.”

How they proposed: “Our friends invited us on a hike to Grewingk Glacier, Zach hates hiking (or anything non-atv involved) so I was shocked when he said sure! It was a beautiful day, with a bear and cub scare on the way to the glacier. Thankfully there was no turning us around. The glacier was stunning, and we hiked around the lake for a while, before deciding to head back. Zach stopped me and proposed, nobody had any idea he had it planned! It was so perfect.”

Any other fun memories/moments from the day: “It was all fun! My veil would not quit blowing in the wind, my sister ended up jumping up and putting a chunk of snow on it to keep it down! My dad said he was all ready for the wedding, and walked out in a grinch suit! Not that that isn’t a recurring event with him😂 Donna had us take some photos outside at sunset, and my brother and brother-in-law ran outside and started shooting Roman candles at each other! Which then started one of the most beautiful fireworks shows to celebrate our wedding.”
