October 19, 2021 I planned us a photo shoot to get Christmas card photos. He hates getting photos done and threw little fits allll day about these photos. They finally came and he continued to ask when we would be done taking photos and could leave. Finally I said we were done and we could go. I turned my back to him moving to get our dog when I heard a “hey maci”. I turned around and my heart sank as I saw the man of my dreams on one knee with my dream ring and he asked me to marry him. I was speechless and instantly started bawling. I now get to spend forever with the love of my life and I couldn’t be happier. 

It was a dream for them to get engaged in front of their new pride (The Traveling Nova) and he made it happen! Wedding will be 10/14/2023 as their song is “Unforgettable” by Thomas Rhett “On the 14th of October”.

I will never forget the tears in his eyes as he asked me to marry him. Such a special moment that I will cherish forever! 

“My best friend introduced me and Stetson while I was driving truck for a construction company. Stetson owns a small trucking company himself and would often call me for help hauling cows or water on the weekends but I think it was just an excuse to see me. 

I have always been a believer that everything happens for a reason and at just the right time. With a swipe to the right, our perfect timing began September 2017.

“From then on I like to think that we have been like Calamity Jane and Will Bill Hickock, one of the West’s greatest power couples”

Once everyone got to our house I was told I needed to be blindfolded for a birthday surprise (my birthday was just the week before). After a few minutes, they took off my blindfold and I opened my eyes to the colt that I had wanted standing right in front of me! I was so in shock I didn’t know what to do! I walked up to my boyfriend, hugged him, and thanked him immensely. He finally said “well, read the halter.” That’s when he got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of our lives together. I’m so thankful for him and all my friends that helped make it such a special day that I will remember for the rest of my life!!

Eric and I first crossed paths at a rough stock jackpot in Washington State.….

We then both were crying in the moment and K’Leigh was snapping pictures that crazy. She got the raw, beautiful moment captured so perfectly that you can see in our pictures. Kyle then went on to tell me he had a whole speech planned out but forgot it all when he saw my face and started to get choked up himself. I then went back into the horse trailer and changed clothes again into something cuter and we had an impromptu photoshoot graciously done by our sweet friend who helped so much in making this day so special.

On top of being engaged, they are now expecting a beautiful baby that will get to experience their wedding day with them! Colette says “Most days I’m still not sure if he’s convinced I said yes and we’re expecting. We are so excited about it all!”
