Our Wedding

Andrew and Jaclyn met on a date at Coopers Hall urban winery in Portland, Oregon via the Bumble app in October 2020. This was during a welcomed the break in COVID restrictions, and the start of a strong lasting love (sweaty palms and heart palpitations not from COVID). We both like adventures and traveling, specifically diving deep into the culture of different countries (whether is it is learn how to cultivate French Merlot in Bordeaux or St. Emilion, make authentic Argentinian empanadas with the perfect specific crimp, or watch some action at the Jets hockey in Winnipeg, Canada or lucho libre “fight” in Mexico City). We love to cook together, trying new recipes and new ingredients, and love to take cooking classes in new countries. We enjoy the outdoors, including glamping at Suttle lake, camping in Red Mountain California, kayaking in Kona Hawaii, skiing at Timberline (and also government camp, and Meadows) and Mt Bachelor in Oregon, and also Whistler, Canada. He proposed in Victoria, BC, Canada at the Fairmont Empress Hotel on my birthday August 12, 2023. After a lovely day exploring, he brought me into the rose garden at the hotel to propose. Afterwards, we went to celebrate my birthday and proposal at the hotel restaurant (he had a bottle of French champagne chilling in the fridge -so fancy 😁).

Our story (an abridged version)

Our Story

Photos

Ashley is Jaclyn’s younger sister. She is a classy, caring, smart woman (graduated with her Doctorate in Nursing Practitioner and ready to take the world by storm). She also can be silly and ready for theme and dance parties.

Ashley Thiessen

Melanie and Jaclyn met wine tasting with friends. They bonded over their love of wine, and outdoor activities (running, rock climbing, and patio happy hours). She’s a loyal friend and ready for any adventure (for example, going on a 40 mile bike ride over 10 bridges in Portland at 6am 🤪). 

Melanie Geer

Ashley and Jaclyn initially met during Covid over outdoor fires and conversation. Later, bonded at dinner parties which sometimes end with karaoke, and traveling (taking a couples trip to Mexico City, Mexico). She is a lawyer by day, and a great cook (and super mom to Cora and Daniel) by night.

Ashley Morey

Pepper is an amazing, caring dog. She loves walks, treats, snuggles, and especially loves our adventures (dock diving at Suttle lake in Oregon)

Wedding Party

Paraphrased/quoted from Timberline website: It is legendary and awe-inspiring as a tribute the rugged spirit of the Pacific Northwest. Built in 1937 on the south slope of Mt. Hood, President Franklin D Roosevelt and the First Lady dedicated the lodge as a “monument to the skill and faithful performance of workers”. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977 by the US Department of the Interior as the finest example of Works Progress Administration (WPA) mountain architecture. Made from natural local materials and designed to blend into the landscape, its center holds a multistory 800,000 lb stone chimney
