Okay, buckle the hell up, Honeybees, because today we’re trading the boring ballroom wedding for the Montana ranch weddings straight out of a Nicholas Sparks fever dream! But make it filthy hot and full of cows. Montana for the win!

Chiara and her man basically said, “Yeah, we’ll take a barn, some longhorns, a horse or three, and throw in a f*cking sunset while you’re at it.” Honestly, 10/10, no notes.

They’ve got every farm animal known to mankind — horses, cows, goats, chickens, rabbits — the full damn Noah’s Ark situation. Halfway through the day, they hop on their horses and start pushing cows. Do I know what that means? Absolutely not. Did I scream “YEEHAW” while flying my drone over longhorn steers? You bet your ass I did.

By sunset, they’re kissing in golden light surrounded by grazing cows like the cover of Cowboy Vogue. I even got to ride a horse. Saddle sore? Maybe. Regret? None.
