Wedding Day

Ceremony

Reception

With COVID-19 a threat, we will be requiring proof of vaccine or proof of negative COVID test (taken within 24 hours prior to the wedding). We mention this now as there are many options including at home rapid tests and through your doctor's office and we want to give you ample time to prepare. We have found the same rapid tests used by doctors and pharmacists available over the counter at Walgreens as a 2 pk for ~$20. Feel free to talk to Jeff or Kelly personally with any questions.

Our Wedding

So, you are 29 and you aren’t in college anymore. You don’t work with many people and the idea of meeting someone at a bar at 29 years of age, isn’t the most appealing thing in the world. So where do you go to get a date these days? Online? Let us tell you one thing, online dating is VERY different. But, you know what? It works! Both of us never thought we would meet the person of our dreams on a dating app. Yet, here we are after swiping right on Bumble. And yes Kelly made the first move, sort of. We can agree that we knew pretty quickly after meeting that we were “The One”. Even after 4 months of dating and BAM pandemic, we just grew stronger. With the world in chaos we did so many amazing things! We camped a lot, traveled a little, learned a lot of new things, got a dog together, built a home, and don’t get us started on the never ending list of home improvements projects! But, we love every part of our lives. In fact, we can say that this wedding isn’t the beginning, but the start of the new chapter of the life we always wanted and we couldn’t imagine doing it with anyone else.

Wedding Party

Q + A

Because Sandpoint is about a 1.5 hour drive from Spokane we recommend staying in Sandpoint the night of the wedding. Below are some options of places to stay.  There is plenty of room in the fields if you want to stay the night at the venue Hickey Farms! Just bring your trailer or tent to set up before the ceremony begins. Let us know if this is what you plan to do so we can get a headcount!  However if camping is not your style I will leave links here for near by hotels and Air BnB’s.

Unfortunately, we were unable to lock in any hotel room blocks so it is up to you to find reservations. Please find them soon, they are booking fast!
