How we Met: Once upon a time there was a weird Alaskan who met an Incline girl. The one and only Jenn Emkjer invited Haley to an 'iconic' party at Peters domain. Haley entered to find this Bryan character chasing shots of vodka with old warm milk. Love at first site, right!?. They became great 'friends' over the next year. It took a while for Haley to see Bryan as more than a party boy, and for Bryan to accept Haley for her unique habits. But the following summer he left to work for Alaska Department of Fish and Game for a few months, and absence indeed made the heart grow fonder. Following his return they began dating and wound up at Burning Man 2013, where they won a trip to Australia. Then began a life full of fun and adventures together. What we Do: Bryan is the Assembly maintenance manager working for Panasonic at the Tesla Gigafactory. He enjoys more hobbies than is reasonable which include fishing, hiking, anything motorized, snowboarding, beating anyone at anything, and regular partying. Haley is an outpatient oncology nurse working for Cancer Care Specialists. Haley enjoys skiing, crafting, sunshine, being in the mountains, and passionate about the environment. How we tied-the-knot: Bryan finally decided to pop the question after ~ 9 years of dating and wanted to propose in unique fashion. Before booking a trip to New Orleans, he scheduled a caricature artist who would draw a portrait of Bryan asking Haley for her hand in marriage. While the picture turned out interesting to say the least, Haley said Yes! Why you should come!: We would like to get married somewhere that is close to our hearts. Talkeetna, AK is a perfect mix of hippie and redneck with countless opportunities to experience the best Alaska has to offer. See our "things to do" section for planning and ideas!
