“Right away, we knew we wanted to get married in the mountains,” Kayla said. They quickly set a date for Aug. 19, 2021, figuring it would allow them more than enough time to plan their dream day. Of course, life happened. Mere months after Kayla and Kody’s engagement, the COVID-19 pandemic threw the world into disarray. In a happier occurrence, Kayla became pregnant and gave birth to their
son, Knox, just three months before their planned wedding date. While some significant decisions had long been in place, such as the venue of Riverlands Red Barn in Pemberton Meadows and The Collective Kitchen for the catering, there was so much left to do that Kayla spent her first months as a mother pulling double duty as a wedding planner.
