Our Wedding

It all started in Bentonville, Arkansas, a place Ryan had never visited before and wasn’t exactly on his life’s bingo card.While there on a work trip, Ryan did what any adventurous traveler might do… he opened Tinder. After just a few short messages, Will offered to take Ryan out to Wellingtons, a steakhouse and whiskey bar. What started as a simple dinner quickly turned into an unforgettable first date filled with great conversation, laughter, and an instant connection.The very next day, Ryan headed back to California for work, thinking the moment had been brief but meaningful. But just four days later, fate stepped in... Ryan was assigned another trip back to Arkansas, this time staying for three days. During that visit, Will showed Ryan around town and even met several of Ryan’s crew members, seamlessly becoming part of his world.When Ryan’s days off came around, Will made the 11-hour drive to visit him in Larkspur, Colorado, a gesture that said everything about how special this connection had become. From there, the distance never stood a chance… and the rest is history.

We're talking jean on jean.  If you can sit down comfortably, you're not trying hard enough

September 15: Elevated country casual

Think cowboy boots, button-ups, plaid shirts, and sundresses

basically, what you’d wear if you were going to a BBQ but also secretly trying to look good for the wedding photos. Hats are optional, but if you’ve got one, wear it!
