The beautiful ceremony took place on a mountain top at The Ranch at Rock Creek in Montana, overlooking the lush hay meadows and rolling foothills typical of the region. Surrounded by 50-75 of their closest friends and family, Kate and Michael exchanged vows they had penned themselves.The newlyweds decided on the romantic destination for its privacy and rustic old-school charm.
