A Barn Wedding, Montana-Style

Jacob Cowgill and Courtney Lowery are getting married Sept. 20, 2008 in Helena, Montana.

Here are a few fun details:

We're getting married at the Kleffner Ranch, outside of East Helena. It looks like this...



We're doing an all local wedding. (Or trying at least) So, we're finding vendors and food and drink that come from Montana because we both like things from Montana, you know, like each other...




One of the coolest part is that Jacob is growing the veggies on the experiment he's working on in Big Sandy. They're yummy, like this...



Beer will come from the Blackfoot Brewing Co. in Helena and the Harvest Moon brewery in Belt, thanks to my lovely bro. 

Wine will come from right up the valley -- Ten Spoon Winery in Missoula. My Daddy is getting a cow and a lamb from the neighbors (baaah!) and Mom is getting the cake in Helena. 

We'll have s'mores before dinner (why wait!?) and if I have my way, a cotton candy machine (think county fair meets barn dance meets our wedding) to boot. 

My 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Hilt, will be calling square dancing at the reception, so fluff up that skirt and shine those boots.

Jacob offered to make my dress, but I said "um... maybe not so much."
