After Cloud posted the video word got around to Bowerman’s mom who knew her daughter and Mike eventually wanted to get married. At the time, the couple wasn’t even engaged. They decided to tour the venue anyway and loved it. That’s when they decided to go through with Cloud’s proposal.

A few months later in January 2023, Mike proposed to Bowerman while on a trip to McCall, ID. Driving back from their vacation she says she texted Cloud asking what dates that the venue was available this year. She told them Oct. 8.

The newlyweds finally walked down in aisle last month. The altar was decorated with pink and red roses. Bowerman’s bridesmaids stood beside her wearing red dresses.

“We love to thank Taylor Swift for it, because it could not have been more perfect,” Bowerman said.
