Our Wedding

While Dan and I met multiple times before, our love story begins in Jackson, WY on top of Snow King Mountain, the Summer of 2022, at the first King Concert featuring Duane Betts and Friends who played Allman Brothers covers while looking out over the Teton Mountains. Truly a magical setting! Later that week Dan decided to ask me out.Our first weekend hanging out included a side-by-side ride out to Mosquito Creek where Dan showed me vistas of the Tetons and pointed out the Wyoming State flower, the Indian Paintbrush. He played music and danced with me in the wilderness. It's fair to say we were both smitten.My parents came in town a couple weeks later and I decided to be bold and ask if Dan would like to meet them, he enthusiastically agreed, it was around that time I was sure we'd get married.A few years of dating later, we have seen each other through multiple moves, job changes, and major life events and our love has only grown deeper.In November, Dan got down on a knee down at the fire-pit in our backyard in Victor, ID. He completely caught me by surprise and asked me to marry him... I enthusiastically agreed!Our love story started in Jackson, WY and has flourished in Teton Valley, ID. We are excited to share this special place with you, our closest friends and family!

Victor is a beautiful small town, with one stop light, and many fields. It's idilic and western, and we hope you love it! We encourage you to explore the area into Driggs or Jackson, but while you are here....enjoy breakfast at Butter, BBQ from Big Hole BBQ, and get yourself a burger or a plate of meats at The Knotty Pine - with lovely outdoor seating in the summer! Find a local beer and sit out on the lawn at Grand Teton Brewing. You can grab your essentials (as well as wine and beer) and a sandwich for the road at the Victor Valley Market, and satisfy your sweet tooth with a Browntrout or Grasshopper milkshake at the Victor Emporium. Driggs is considered the "Big City"! Also with one stop light, Driggs does offer more dining and shopping opportunities, including a super market, Broulim's!

Jackson

While we no longer live in Jackson, we still feel strong ties to the town and the community. Here's a bit of what we recommend in town. Town Square: Enjoy a day trip to Jackson and be sure to walk around on the boardwalk sidewalks along the ships and restaurants in town square. Notice the famous antler arches at the four corners of the square, and gather for a nightly "shoot out" production on the one of the corners, at 6pm. Shopping: If you want to bring home a mommento from your trip, this is the place to find it. You can get a pressed penny, a moose stuffie, or a Jackson Hole hoodie. Snag some locally designed outdoor clothing at Stio, and stop by New West Knives if you find yourself needing a locally made (in Victor!) chef knife. Find the perfect cowboy hat at Beaver Creek or Kimo Sabe if you really want to ball out! Shop for beautiful clothing at Piper JH, Altitude and the Belle Cose shops, and find your vintage pieces from Women Folk. Stop by Made for handcrafted gifts, and JC Jewelers for something special to take home :) Grocery Shopping: In Jackson, you can find your supermarket grocery stores, Albertson's, Whole Food and Smiths (Kroger). You can also find pharmaceutical items at Smith Drug, Target, Albertsons or Smiths. For food:Breakfast / CoffeeCowboy Coffee - In the square and drive through south of downtown, good strong coffeePersephone: Instagramable vibes, good for a specialty coffee and a breakfast bite.Cafe Genevieve - Sit down breakfast with a Southern flareNora's Fishcreek Inn - Located in Wilson, at the base of the Teton Pass, Nora's is a local staple. Get a cup of coffee with the local paper and you'll fit right in!Pearl Street Bagels - with two locations in Jackson and one in Driggs, PSB offers a grab and go style bagel, boiled to perfection - according to them - do not ask them to toast your bagel. (Local tip: If you are staying in a house, grab a half dozen with a tub of cream cheese and toast to your heart's desire!) Lunch / DinnerGlorietta Trattoria - Sara Ann and Dan's favorite restaurant in Jackson offers cool Italian vibes and even better italian dining. You can usually snag a spot at the bar for two, but reservations are highly recommended. The shaved veggie salad is divine, and you will not go wrong with any of the pastas, although the fusili and cassarecchi are fan favorites. Paired with a Negroni and bottle of Nebbiolo, you will leave feeling great!The Bistro - The Bistro is loved by tourists and locals alike. Located off the square in the Cloudveil hotel, it is highly encouraged to hit the rooftop first for a cocktail and a veiw and make your way back down for a lovely evening of modern French food and a darn good burger. Don't sleep on the blue cheese olives for your top tier martini!Snake River Grill - Known as "The Grill", this restaurant has been serving upscale mountain fare since the early 90s. Located upstairs right on town square, you'll enjoy a fine steakhouse experience with good service, white table clothes, and a cozy fireplace. This is a great place to try some elk or that juicy steak you have been craving, but don't miss out of the tartar pizza appitizer and the onion rings are highly reccomended. Reservations are hard to come by last minute, so book in advance!The Local - If you are in town for lunch and want a burger, this is where I would suggest you go. The bar area is poppin and always a fun time. In the evenings the steakhouse is open for fine dining as well.Snake River Brewing - Known at the Brew Pub to locals, SRB is a town legend. Brewing since 94', all theStillwest Brewing - Southern fried chicken, a local beer, and a great view up Snow King Mountain... sign me up!
