San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and actress Jennifer Siebel plan Bitterroot Valley, Montana wedding in July

It’s official – the invites are in the mail.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Siebel plan to tie the knot at the bride’s family ranch in Montana’s Bitterroot River valley on July 26.

"It’s going to be a very natural, Big Sky-type of event," said Stanlee Gatti, a longtime Newsom friend and best man at the mayor’s first wedding who is planning the nuptial event.

The 250 wedding guests are being encouraged to book the weekend early, as there are limited options for flights and accommodations in the valley southwest of Missoula. (Although, as the invite notes, the nearby Hamilton airport can handle private or charter flights.)

As for why politician Newsom and actress Siebel would choose to get married so far away from the TV lights and cameras:

"It’s always been her dream to be married at the ranch," Gatti said. "It has always been a very special place for her."
