Our Wedding

Abby and Alanna met in August of&nbsp;2011 during new student orientation at Central Washington University. Abby sat at a table with her family for&nbsp;lunch when Alanna approached their table&nbsp;wearing a Thor helmet and asked to join them. Abby's mom invited Alanna to join the family&nbsp;for lunch and that was the start of Abby's and Alanna's&nbsp;friendship.&nbsp;

The two had a few classes together as first year students, then sophomore year their friendship bloomed when they both&nbsp;started taking American Sign Language classes. They went to Deaf and signing events and learned the language in classes together for the next three years.&nbsp;



In 2014, as friends, Abby and Alanna spent more time together than apart - even spending Christmas together with Abby's family. After the new year, in early 2015, the two considered the possibility of a romantic&nbsp;relationship. Abby took Alanna on their first date&nbsp;to a hockey game on February 14th, 2015 -&nbsp;Valentine's Day.&nbsp;By the time of the wedding, the two will have been friends for eight&nbsp;years and dating for four and a half of those years.



Abby and Alanna have faced many ups and downs while being together and have grown stronger and closer because of them. This wedding in 2019 won't be the start of their life together, it will be another wonderful milestone on their journey to do life with one another.&nbsp;

Q + A

The hotels listed below are popular places to stay in Ellensburg - though they are not the only options. We have decided against getting a hotel block for the wedding to ensure guests have the best chance at finding their room at a rate they are comfortable paying. At this time, finding a room on Hotels.com is less expensive per room than booking a hotel block. Ellensburg also has quite a few Airbnb&nbsp;hosts who would love to have guests visit their rentals.&nbsp;

We will not have a hotel room block for our guests.
