The Proposal

of

Hope & Gunter

 

Hope’s sister, her brother-in-law, and their shared friends introduced Gunter and Hope to one another. 
Gunter and Hope were in South Dakota visiting Gunter’s family. The proposal came as a complete surprise, complete with a breathtaking landscape.

The Wedding

of

Hope & Gunter

 

We had a lovely and simple ceremony atop a mountain with some of our closest family and friends and the most spectacular views. Dave, a rancher buddy, married us, and it was a simple and sweet ceremony. We chose to water a tree we subsequently planted on the property for our unity ceremony (we recorded the area so we could return). We then returned to the beautiful cabin where our entire group was staying and ate, drank, and celebrated on the back patio. Gunter and I afterward returned to the summit to take great shots and watch the Montana sunset. The trip was the most relaxed and casual wedding I’ve ever attended. It was a vacation and an event we will never forget, and all of our friends and family had a great time celebrating. 

We had our reception in Ohio on August 12, 2022, at The Brightside in Dayton. It was the most delightful, easygoing evening! We ate, drank, danced, and played cornhole. We were able to celebrate with approximately 275 of our friends and relatives. It was a lot of fun celebrating our new marriage. 

 

Hope’s

Bridal & Formal

Experience

 

My experience with Bridal & Formal was fantastic! Everything was well-organized, and everyone who worked there was quite pleasant. Bridal & Formal provides many dresses; I couldn’t have wished for more.
Sally was an excellent consultant. She assisted me in selecting the appropriate attire and made me feel at ease and unconcerned. It can be overwhelming when you first enter into the selection of dresses, but Sally never made me feel that way. Every dress she chose made me feel wonderful. My sister purchased her gown from Bridal & Formal, but her consultant no longer works there. She suggested Sally to me, and I’m delighted she did.
