iley, an outdoor-loving resident of Gillette, met Mike, also
an outdoor-loving resident of Gillette, twice – the second
time, the carrots may have been the kicker. “We met at the
Rec Center,” Riley says. “I was working at the front desk and he came
in to play racket ball with a friend. I didn’t get to talk to him much
then.” It was a couple of months later, though, that Mike happened
to come in to Pokey’s BBQ, where Riley was working as a server. “We
got to talking while I was cleaning the salad bar, and we hit it off,”
Riley says. “We’ve been together ever since.”
When Mike proposed, there was again food on the scene. “He
proposed over leftover spaghetti at our apartment while I was on a
lunch break on a Monday,” Riley laughs. “He’s not the romantic type
(hahaha) – but it was perfect!”
Riley describes their September 26, 2015 wedding as ‘basic,’ but as
I look through Ardent Photography’s images, I’d call the details rustic,
fall, Wyoming and perfect. The two chose to be married in view of
