Aha, it IS happening! Officially operating on a 'better late than never' timeline (Life, ya know?), but we've rallied and cannot wait to celebrate with y'all! Thank you for your ongoing patience as we plan this amazing bash.

Stephen & Alaine
Gallery
Welcome to our gallery! Photos from Engagement Day are at the top, with captions, and then a smattering of faves from our decade+ together below.
(As you can see, editing, time stamping, and labeling all of the pics was taking way to much time and I need all of it I can get, so it is still a bit "under construction". I labeled the engagement day pics and a few of my absolute favorites, and will try to add more as there is time. So come back in a bit, let's be optimists together, you and I.)
Right after "Yes!"
The kid working the boat rental sprinted to get us something right after we docked. He returned with this random scavenger hunt trophy. (Confusing, but I agree, we totally Won At Getting Engaged.)
Stephen's Eye View. He packed Alaine's favorites, including a cream cheese danish, half pictured here, the other half already in her face.
Old school, new chapters
Stephen didn't want to lose Great Grandma Madalen "Meg"'s 100+ year old ring, so he attached a floatie to it. It remained on the entirety of the boat ride, as I was TERRIFIED. Ecstatic, but terrified.
Celebratory engagement oysters, duh
Obligatory I LOVE MY RING shot.
Soft smiles were not invited to the party
Sharing the good news to our nearest and dearest
Indulging, post boat
Oh, and he also said yes!
Summer 2024 - Toasting with Alaine's family! Many bubbles have been consumed, with so many more bottles to go!
Summer 2024 - Celebrating our love, Montana style: At the rodeo with Stephen's family, a time I will always hold dear!
2014 - One of our first date nights after becoming "official". After dinner, we went to where most of our dates subsequently ended up: in Pub 317. "And two of my birthdays." -Alaine
December 2022 - Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Alaine very much enjoying the free trip she got us as a dog-sitter - while Stephen was fighting for his life to not burn to a crisp. Love you forever, LucyDog!
2014 - Florence, Italy. Thighs touching. Wine bottle in hand. Flirting hard. Little did these kids know...
Jason and Ashley's wedding in Sun Valley, one of Alaine's first Ridgway events.
2020 - New Years Morning. We were so, so stupidly optimistic.
Oh, you know, just casually on The Yacht. Again, love you forever LucyDog, even though you clearly thought Stephen was mid.
2020 - Christmas. Thank goodness we had each other this year, even if it was in a shoe box.
2024 - Before box seat Phish concert time!
Adventure buddies, airport day drinkers, jet setter extraordinaires
Crushing, or creeping, on Stephen in Italy, 2014
Like the Montagues and the Capulets
Even on the less than stellar days, it will be okay, as long we're together
For all the days along the way
