“John and I met in high school and started dating our senior year. We’ve basically grown up together, and now we live in New York, but Jackson Hole has always felt like another home. My family has been coming out here since the 1960s, spending every summer in the valley, so it’s a place woven into who we are. It also holds a deeper meaning for my family. Three members of my dad’s family, my grandparents and my uncle, were laid to rest here, which makes Jackson Hole especially special to us. My grandpa always called the Tetons our family’s cathedral, and that sentiment has stuck with all of us. We ended up getting married on the smokiest day of the year, and the mountains were completely hidden. At first, it felt disappointing, but the haze created this soft, quiet atmosphere that made everything feel intimate and almost surreal. Even though we couldn’t see the Tetons, it still felt like they were there with us.”
