Our Wedding

2024 was a year of adventures and travel, including Hawaii, Japan, Bali, and Norway. We discovered how we handle the pressures of navigating different languages and cultures and met new friends along the way.

For American Thanksgiving, Cait and Dan traveled to Longyearbyen, Svalbard (78° N Latitude), the world's northernmost settlement with a population greater than 1,000- essentially, the North Pole. Dan proposed during the Polar Night in complete darkness, with a nature photographer (shout out to Michael from Svalbard!) capturing the moment.

Engaged at the North Pole

We are thrilled to share that we’ll be getting married in an intimate ceremony in New York City, followed by a joyful celebration with our closest friends and family in Vancouver. We’ll be gathering for a fun-filled evening of dinner, drinks, and dancing as we celebrate this special chapter with the people who mean the most to us.

Things to Do

Registry

2024 was a year of adventures &amp; travel including Hawaii, Japan, Bali, and Norway. We learned how we operate under travel pressure with other languages and cultures and met new friends along the way.

For American Thanksgiving, Dan &amp; Cait went to Longyearbyen, Svalbard (78° N Latitude) and the world's northernmost settlement with a population greater than 1,000- basically, the North Pole. Dan proposed in Polar Nights with complete darkness and had a nature photographer (shout out to Michael from Svalbard!) to capture the moment.

We are excited to share that we’ll be getting married in an intimate ceremony in New York City, followed by a joyful celebration with our closest friends and family in Vancouver. We’ll be gathering for a fun-filled evening of dinner, drinks, and dancing, as we celebrate this special chapter with the people who mean the most to us.
