Inside Yellowstone’s Ryan Bingham and Hassie Harrison’s Elegant Western Wedding at the Bride’s Family Home in Texas.

Singer-songwriter and actor Ryan Bingham first met actor Hassie Harrison on the set of Yellowstone, where they play troubadour-turned-ranch hand Walker and plucky barrel racer Laramie respectively. While their characters are romantically linked in the popular series, in real life, it wasn’t necessarily love at first sight. But ultimately, for Ryan and Hassie, mother knows best. “Our story is thanks to my mom,” Hassie says. “She and Ryan met by chance through a mutual friend at a charity event in Dallas during a production break. I wasn’t there, but it just happened to be during a time when both Ryan and I were transitioning into new chapters of our lives. They got to talking and discovered just how many Texas-based friends and acquaintances we had in common—so sensing an opportunity, she encouraged Ryan to give me a call.”

The timing couldn’t have been better. “It’s still a wonder to us to this day that our paths hadn’t crossed sooner given all our shared connections back home,” Hassie says. “It truly was one of those serendipitous moments that make you realize life has a way of bringing people together at precisely the right time and place.”

The two began dating in 2023—and then, once it became clear that the relationship was getting very serious, the proposal actually happened twice. The first time was during a seemingly normal evening at home. “Ryan had been unusually quiet all night, and I could see he was visibly nervous—which was out of character for him,” Hassie remembers. “Then, out of nowhere he broke the silence and said, ‘I want to ask you to marry me, but only if you say yes.’ I didn’t hesitate a moment before telling him I would. It’s true what they say—when you know, you just know.”
