Over at Wedding Bee, they’re voting on my favor choices.
So far, cookies are winning by a landslide!
I’ve also gotten two good suggestions: Using some of the Glacier Park photos I’ve taken over the years to make my own magnets or coasters, and look at Montana huckeberry products (I considered this early on but tossed it [...]

You may have noticed that when I posted the final layout of our invitations, I listed “Bowman Lake” as our ceremony location and provided directions.
Bowman Lake is beautiful and peaceful, just 8 miles past Polebridge inside the remote Northwest reaches of Glacier National Park. It’s also flat and accessible, with plenty of parking and restrooms. [...]
