Our Wedding

Jessica and Tim connected on Bumble in mid August 2023. They settled on meeting up to go paddle boarding on Alki on a Saturday afternoon. Little did we know despite the tide being low the winds were high. Other than the high winds, it was a pretty nice day. We decided to keep to our paddle date and despite not being able to do much paddling, we enjoyed each other's company.
