We featured Teton elements in our wedding, too. Max Shafer, the brewmaster at Roadhouse Brewing Co. and Will’s best man, provided several varieties of Roadhouse beer. Max brewed us a special “Hoppily Ever After” pale ale with a label (that Max’s talented wife, Elle, made) featuring our black Labs, Gus and Rangeley. Chef Steve Murphy at Three Peaks Catering incorporated local elements into the menu, including elk meat harvested by Will and our officiant, Patrick Leary. Heide’s Flowers and my mother collaborated on the flowers. They combined Spray and Blush Vendela roses with locally grown wildflowers, greens, and blooms that my mom and sister-in-law harvested throughout the week leading up to our wedding. To honor beloved rivers, each reception table was named after a river where we spent time together. The boutonnieres and bridal party earrings incorporated gray ghost flies, a fly originally from Maine that Will and I both grew up fishing with. Our officiant and dear friend equated marriage to a river and ended his heartfelt, personalized service with a quote from one of our favorite stories, “A River Runs Through It” by Norman Maclean. It was important to us to have our ceremony near the water, so we chose a site right next to Moose Creek. With our black Labs close by, surrounded by family members and friends, and accompanied by the flowing creek, Will and I declared our intent to be husband, wife, and fishing companions for all our days. Moose Creek Ranch was a perfect venue with flexible outdoor and indoor spaces, places for out-of-town family to stay, and creeks and mountains nearby. Despite awakening to thunder and rain, the afternoon was warm and sunny for our outdoor wedding. Everything about the wedding spoke to the two of us as a couple, our passions, and our intertwined backgrounds, including our dear friend Adrian Croke serenading the crowd with “Cruise” by Florida Georgia Line, as we joyously recessed down the aisle. The whole weekend was a magical convergence of outof-town family and friends with our local community that we had built over the years. Our wedding was truly a team effort, and we are grateful to the vendors, family members, and friends who helped make our special day perfect.
