A Weekend to Remember
Guests started arriving on Thursday, July 6, and the festivities kicked off with a welcoming dinner at the Blackwell hotel. The next day, everyone headed out to enjoy the breathtaking views of the lake at the Coeur d’Alene Resort. And let’s talk about the location for a second—it was no accident that Julianne chose this spot. She explained, “When I introduced Brooks to the lake, he fell in love with this special place, and we knew this was where we wanted to raise our family and grow old together.”
Brooks added, “It was really important to me that we had our ceremony outdoors. Julianne and I are very adventurous and free, and we wanted the setting to reflect that. There were lights in the trees, a full moon, and fireworks. It was absolutely perfect!”

Julianne admitted, “I don’t think I ever really dreamed about my wedding as a kid, but I know I will always cherish and remember it for the rest of my life.” And who could blame her? This was more than a wedding—it was a celebration of love, family, and friendship.
Love at First Sight
The couple first revealed their engagement back in August 2015 with a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a photo of Julianne jumping into Brooks’ arms after saying “Yes!” Later, she opened up about the proposal on her blog, saying, “I was so taken aback when Brooks got down on one knee that I completely blacked out! It was like a rush of heat and a wave of uncontrollable emotion swept right through my body.”
And as she put it, “I didn’t have any words at first (me! no words!). All I could do was explode into his arms and experience pure joy from head to toe.”
So here’s to Julianne and Brooks, who are starting their lives together surrounded by love and happiness. Congratulations, you two!
