Our Wedding

Amanda &amp; Ryan's paths have been crossing long before they ever met. Amanda &amp; Ryan officially met through Facebook, but once they started talking, they realized how many connections they already shared.They both knew Sylvia Haven (Amanda's great-aunt) through Grenora School, spent summers fishing at Blacktail, and discovered that Amanda's grandparents lived just one block from Ryan while they were growing up.Even more surprising, they both spent countless hours walking and riding their bikes through the same cemetery as kids—never knowing that years later they would be walking through life together.What started as a simple Facebook connection quickly turned into something special. Through laughter, adventures, and making memories together, they found their forever person.On February 16, 2025, Ryan proposed during a beautiful trip to Cabo San Lucas, and Amanda happily said yes.Now, they are excited to celebrate the next chapter of their story with all of the people they love most.September 12, 2026, can't come soon enough! 💍❤️

Q + A

Comfort Inn is only 5 miles from Venue Twenty5—just hop on Old Red Trail and you'll be there before your favorite wedding playlist ends. 🚗💍 They don't offer room blocks, but if you mention you're booking for the Herigstad Wedding, they'll take $20 off your stay...because every dollar saved can go toward one more drink at the reception.🍻
