"Travis taught me how to fly-fish. One of the first times I bonded with his family was during a fly-fishing vacation in Alaska, so being on the water means a lot to us. In the middle of planning our wedding, we drove past this gorgeous spot, Schwabacher's Landing in Grand Teton National Park, and he turned to me and said, 'Wouldn't it be awesome if we got married here, and then floated to the reception at Dornan's ranch?' The site, an expansive compound, is about an hour downstream along the banks of the Snake River. So we did it! We borrowed our buddy Chas's boat—he was the driver—and drank champagne. We didn't catch anything, but it didn't matter. It was about enjoying that time together, doing something we both love."
