Our goal is to celebrate our two families - both blood and found - coming together. We know traveling for weddings can be a lot and we want people to not feel like traveling for the wedding is a chore, nor that they are stuck using a vacation day to not really get a vacation. We picked a summer wedding because we didn’t want people to have to fly out to Seattle in the rainy spring.

With that in mind, we’re trying to make sure that this is a fun experience for everyone. We’ve got some fun Seattle stuff planned for Friday where we’ll be renting out the local independent theater that we got engaged at to watch one of our favorite movies. We’re having dinner that night so folks can try some of our favorite foods in the area and get to meet each other.

For the wedding, we’re keeping the ceremony short so we can focus on having a fun party and we should have some things at the reception that we think are going to be fairly unique to us. We also will have shuttles so that folks don’t have to worry about getting to and from the hotel.

And while we know that some folks might extend their trip to enjoy the Seattle summer, a lot of folks will have to go home on Sunday we we wanted to have an easy brunch so that we could just spend some more time with folks that morning and make sure people are fed before they have to jet off, so we’re making sure we do brunch in a way that’s close by (probably at) the hotel so that no one has too hectic of a travel day.



All this to say that we know it’s a LOT for folks to travel here and we really want to make sure it’s as much of a vacation as possible. And if you’re local, we just hope it’s a really fun weekend!
