She/They

Hello all!
I’m April, and I am excited to be a part of the wedding party! I’ve known Frank since around summer of 2008 at Tillicum Village where we were working at the time, and several summers later, Jess was working there as well! While Frank and I had known and interacted quite a bit, I didn’t get to really know Jess during the time Ey worked at Tillicum Village, but our interactions increased over the years afterwards. From anime, to MTG, to boardgames, Rocky, and overall vibes, I’ve come to adore both of these wonderful people and am happy to see them finally tying the knot!

Q + A

Travel

Argosy's one hour harbor tour is a great way to get a feel for the city in a hurry. As both Frank and Jessica have worked there off and on for the better part of a decade, all of the cruises hold a special place in both of their hearts. In fact, Jessica smuggled nearly 40 people onto a harbor cruise in order to propose to Frank in September of 2024. The couple does recommend advanced reservations if you plan to go on one of the cruises while you're in town; late august is a very busy period and while it isn't an every day occurrence, the boats have been known to sell out this time of year. Reach out to either Jessica or Frank for more information or help with booking

Grab a scoop of the best ice cream in town at Husky Deli's! Jess grew up taking Sunday afternoon bike rides down to Husky's with eir family. Husky also makes fantastic hand-poured truffles, and a mean sandwich. Jess recommends the Pumpkin, Rootbeer, or Coconut!
