What do you do when you specifically choose the longest day of the year for a summer solstice themed ceremony and the sun doesn't show itself the entire day? You embrace the fact that you're marrying the one for you, and you and your friends have the most amazing wedding celebration anyway!

Jaden and Max chose the quaint Six Mile Estate on the shores of Swan Lake in Northwest Montana, a place where Jaden had visited periodically as a child. However as alluded to in the paragraph above, the weather did not cooperate. Seriously, as any Flathead Valley wedding vendor about the weekend of June 20th, 2025 and they'll all get that thousand-yard stare.

Despite bad weather which could've easily ruined many couples' wedding days, they were both so upbeat and positive throughout. They were just so happy to be surrounded by their family and friends, truly nothing else seemed to matter. The rain stopped just long enough for a beautiful ceremony, and then poured the entire reception.
