The marriage ceremony and the reception will be held at the same venue: Copper Rose Ranch. The Ceremony will be outside, and the reception will be held indoors, in a fully climate-controlled space.

We request that no photos be be taken during the ceremony, nor any cell phones used.

Between the ceremony and dinner, there will be mingling and cocktails in an indoor/outdoor patio space.

The sun will set at 8:43 PM MST.

There will be dancing, including, but not limited to Waltz and East Coast Swing.

Considering the weather from this time in May over the last three years, it would be helpful to assume a daily average temperature of 50.92 °F, with nightly lows near 32.6 °F, and highs around 76 °F. It would be surprising if it were colder than 27°F or hotter than 84°F.

We expect there to be a 26-38% chance of precipitation (almost certainly rain) on May 18.

On the day of the wedding, the sun will set at 8:43 PM MST.

The Dress Code for civilians is Black Tie. For more information on Black Tie Dress Code, please see the Dress Code Section. The uniform for Military Members, Active and Reserve, is Dinner Dress Blue Jacket or their Service Equivalent.

Our hope is that anyone who wishes to and is able feel free to join us on our Yellowstone-area vacation after the wedding. We plan to stay in the area through May 25th. May is a prime month for bear activity in the Yellowstone ecosystem!

Neither the bride nor the groom will be changing their names.
