Our Wedding

In 2010 we both lived in Washington A Tower, just a floor apart at our alma mater, Robert Morris University. We instantly hit it off and Mike used his "Shaff swag" to reel Jess in.&nbsp;Thanks to our friends who had our passwords to Facebook, they changed our status to "in a relationship". Once it goes on facebook you know its official. We went through college together, got our Master's degrees, received our first jobs, and have lived a lot of great memories together since 2010. November 17, 2018 while we were in Jessica's apartment, just the two of us, Mike asked Jess to spend the rest of her life with&nbsp;him. She said "yes!". We were able to spend that evening with our closest friends to celebrate at our Friendsgiving and then the classic Primanti's. We are so excited to begin the journey of marriage together with Jesus in the center of our marriage. Each of you have played such a special role in our journey and we are so grateful for you. We can't wait until we get to marry each other with all of our closest friends and family with us. You all mean so much to us and we can't thank you enough for all of your love and support.

Q + A

The hotel only has 125 rooms. I would plan to book the hotel as soon as possible. We plan to have the after party after the wedding Friday night at the hotel. There is a restaurant, brewery with sit down eating, a couple of bars, cafe, and a casino at the hotel. Friday July 19th, we will have shuttles running from the hotel to the venue and back.

Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort

We will provide shuttles to and from the wedding venue, Nature's Connection Place. The shuttle will begin at 3:00pm from The Angel of the Winds Casino to the venue and will return to the hotel immediately following the end of the reception around 10:00pm.

Airbnb's would also be a great way to stay in the Pacific Northwest. If you plan to stay in an Airbnb book soon as they book quickly in our area. Good towns to book one in is as follows:1. Marysville, WA2. Arlington, WA 3. Tulalip, WA4. Everett, WA5. Lake Stevens, WA
