Brittney and Kyle's White Raven Wedding

Brittney and Kyle’s wedding at White Raven Wedding Venue was an exciting destination for their friends and family, who came from both sides of the U.S. and many places in between.

The couple met in Florida, but moved to California for Kyle’s work. They wanted to get married in Montana because it was one of the many places they fell in love with as they explored hiking and outdoor adventures in the United States.

Brittney’s sister and closest friends threw her a bachelorette party in White Raven’s opulent cabin the night before the wedding. The next morning they shared mimosas and laughs before hair and makeup began, and that’s when Kyle surprised her with a beautiful gift, delivered by her best friend.

There were no “bridesmaids” or “groomsmen” at this wedding, but there were dozens of close friends from various walks of life there to cheer them on. Brittney’s squad was behind her the whole way, literally and figuratively, wearing bold pinks and navy and florals.

The couple chose not to have a first look, and instead saw each other for the first time as Brittney made her way down the aisle. Her soon-to-be husband beamed at her and tried to suppress his tears, but the audience, who knew the long and hard journey both of them made to get to this moment, couldn’t hold them back.

The reception featured florals by Habitat Floral, a cake by Bernice’s Bakery, and themed table decor based on the national and state parks Brittney and Kyle have explored together. A donut bar featuring a wall of donuts was one of the highlights of the night, and Kyle performed a VERY memorable dance as he took Brittney’s garter from her leg with his teeth that made me wonder if he had a background as a stripper. It was raunchy and hilarious. The couple and their friends danced and enjoyed themselves well into the night.
