Our Wedding

Ryan and Jocelyn met for the first time at a University of Washington tailgate. They were introduced by Nick, a mutual friend. &nbsp; For their first date, the couple shared a flight of beer at a local brewery and discussed their mutual love for UW, how excited they get whenever they encountered a dog, and their individual plans for the future. About 10 days later, the two met again. This was immediately after the 2016 election and Ryan endeared himself to Jocelyn, when his first words were to ask if she was doing okay.&nbsp;He understood her disappointment with the results of the presidential election. &nbsp;At that moment, Jocelyn was hooked.&nbsp;She knew he was a kindred spirit.&nbsp;The rest of the night was amazing, as Ryan demonstrated his golf skills both at the range and at a mini-golf course. &nbsp;After which, the couple went to the Lookout in Seattle, where it was Jocelyn’s turn to impress Ryan with her karaoke skills.&nbsp;Later that night they attempted to share a first kiss while overlooking the city. Unfortunately, another couple had the same idea, leaving Ryan and Jocelyn to share that kiss in the front of the Lookout instead. &nbsp;After this second date, the couple were inseparable. Ryan and Jocelyn have now been together for three wonderful years. They have been to countless Husky tailgates and games, have explored the city while enjoying their mutual interest in Seattle cuisine and craft beers.&nbsp;In keeping with their mutual love of dogs, they have adopted two of their own fur babies; Ofi, a 105-pound Pitbull mix and Coda, an 85-pound Akita. &nbsp;As a couple, Ryan and Jocelyn have traveled throughout the country, to New Jersey, New York, Texas, Oregon, California and Nevada. They have also lived in different areas of Seattle, Eastlake, Beacon Hill, finally settling in West Seattle, where they purchased a home.&nbsp; On October 19th, 2019, Ryan proposed as the couple sat down in their lovely shared home to carve pumpkins and watch a scary movie.&nbsp;When Ryan popped the question, Jocelyn, of course, cried. &nbsp;To share their joy, the couple celebrated with a pumpkin beer and called their family and friends.

Travel

The Bride would come to Fort Warden with her family every year to camp in the forest or the ocean campsites. The family would hike throughout the old military buildings and play on the beach. Coming to Fort Worden every year was one of the reasons the mother and father of the bride fell in love with Port Townsend, WA and ultimately decided to make a home there. Fort Worden Description Nestled in the seaport community of Port Townsend, Washington, Fort Worden is a destination you’ll want to return to again and again. Originally designed as a military base to protect Puget Sound, Fort Worden transformed into an iconic and cherished state park. But it was destined to become much more. Due to its unique and eclectic attributes, the Fort has evolved into a gathering place for events, activities, conferences, weddings and more. As diverse as these experiences may be, there is a common thread – the joy of making meaningful connections in a magnificent natural setting. If you need something to do on Saturday, this is a perfect place to hike and explore the old military base.

Ryan and Jocelyn have been members at the Port Townsend Winery for about a year. When they come to town, they enjoy a tasting or glass of wine with the Bride's parents. When Ryan's parents, sister and brother-in-law came to town, they enjoyed a glass of wine on the patio. The venue is dog friendly. The couple recommends a nice glass of the Winery's reserve Cabernet. Winery Description Port Townsend Vineyards’ winery is located near the city’s southern entry. Featuring a new co-op production facility to support sustainable winemaking, our winery greets visitors entering Port Townsend by road and highlights the care put into the wine. All of the grapes grown locally as well as those sourced from top regional vineyards are cared for in this brand new wine production facility. Built as a custom-crush facility, this new building houses modern winemaking equipment and ample space for barrel storage. It was designed to ensure the hand-harvested grapes could be crushed and fermented with minimal intervention using environmentally-efficient water and energy practices. The Winery is located at the southern entry into Port Townsend off of West Sims Way and includes a unique tasting room experience. Port Townsend Vineyards has two distinct tasting rooms. The casually elegant Winery Tasting Room at the entrance to town hosts guests in a tasting room that reflects the old-world charm of the 140-year-old wood beams, artfully blended with modern stainless steel and glass. An adjacent event pavilion and outdoor patio provide upscale venues for events, dinner parties and local music.

Port Townsend Vineyards

Ryan and Jocelyn have been to this brewery many times! They are also dog friendly and even named Coda dog of the month when she was just 8 weeks old. Jocelyn also celebrated her 30th birthday in the beer garden while listening to a local Port Townsend band. All of the beers are great, but they especially recommend the IPA's. Brewery Description: When we opened the doors in 1997 we offered only two beers to customers, the Port Townsend Pale Ale and The Port Townsend Brown Porter. Since that time we have grown to brew over 10 ales. With the help of brewing consultant Vince Cottone (Sound Brewing Systems Inc.), Master of Malting and Brewing Sciences, Jim Pryor (Victoria B.C., Canada), professional brewers, Bill Pearson and Barry Ladell the brewery got off the ground. Without them we would not be here today! In 2003 we went from bottling just two of our beers to all 10. We replaced our original 7 Bbl system with a new 15 Bbl system, we bought four more conditioning tanks, and expanded our beer garden to include a bandstand, lots more seating and outdoor heating. We have also evolved into being major sponsors for many events in Port Townsend. The largest event; The Wooden Boat Festival is held the 2nd weekend in September and provides one of the largest shows of wooden boats in the country. Centrum Arts - Blues Festival held in August, The Port Townsend Film Festival in September and The Kinetic Skulpture Race in October. (See our Events Page for more details.) Please join us at the brewery in our cozy tasting room for a few pints and a few laughs, and in the summertime enjoy many wonderful concerts in the beer garden.

Port Townsend Brewing Company

Ryan loves the unique flavors of the beer at Propolis! The Couple loves the setting and would recommend this location if you are interested in trying a new unique beer you probably won't find anywhere else! Brewery Description Propolis was established in June of 2012 with the sole intent to produce high-quality handcrafted herbal ales inspired by Old World tradition, local resources and the rhythms of nature. Our ales are brewed with various wild-crafted herbs and are seasonally based. Many of our Ales blend several styles and are hard to classify by those that subscribe to the standards. We are primarily inspired by the farmhouse tradition of France and Belgium, as well as Old World Ales that no longer exist. We are artists and scientists at heart and we aspire to challenge the norm.

Propolis Brewing

Ryan and Jocelyn love the Pourhouse! The outdoor area right on the beach is gorgeous and provides a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy any of the many beers they have on tap. On Friday and Saturday nights they also have live music. The outdoor space has firepits and you can bring your own food in to enjoy. Pourhouse Description Located on the beach at the mouth of Port Townsend Bay, we offer a relaxed environment to enjoy a delicious craft beer and spectacular views. Our spacious beer garden, "The Impound Lot”, is a great place to have a picnic, listen to live music on our outdoor stage, play ping pong, or a game of Pétanque. Inside you can settle in for a conversation, a beer flight or a board game. We have 12 beers and two ciders rotating on draft, an extensive wine by the glass list, and over 200 bottles and cans to go or for enjoying here. If you’re hungry, try our bar snack menu with the option to bring in food from neighboring restaurants. Pourhouse is a 21 and over establishment.

Things to Do

Jocelyn's wedding party

 Jocelyn and Rachel have been friends since the 6th grade. They attended elementary school, junior high school, high school and the University of Washington together. Rachel has always been Jocelyn's biggest confidant and she always gives her the best advice, even if Jocelyn doesn't always listen. 

Jocelyn and Rachel have spent many a night watching and quoting the Titanic while playing nertz and drinking tea. They also starred in the infamous, Do you have a chicken I can borrow music video (viewership 5 but award winning in the follow-up awards homemade video). Every year they would travel to Priest Lake, ID with Jocelyn's family and stay for two weeks, contemplating life while lying on the dock staring at the stars and staying in the water until they couldn't stand the cold any longer. 

Rachel and Jocelyn were roommates in college for four years, two years in the dorms, one year in a house full of 7 other girls and one year in an apartment that likely would have crumbled if there was a high wind storm. They have attended probably too many college parties (maybe even at Ryan's old house without realizing it), stayed up way too late despite having to wake up early and work at the news stand and attended all the Husky games in 2008 despite losing every game in the rain. 

Rachel is Jocelyn's lifelong friend and she could not imagine anyone else standing by her side on her wedding day.

Rachel Andre

Shanleigh and Jocelyn met in college through the University of Washington school of Music Program. At first, Jocelyn was anxious to walk up and talk to Shanleigh. She was a year her senior in school, brilliant, beautiful and so talented! So, what did Jocelyn do? Ask her for advice regarding a frat boy asking her on a date of course... Shanleigh provided the best advice, invited Jocelyn and her roommate Rachel over to learn the ways of the sorority system and gladly accepted the reciprocal invite of tea time in a dorm room and the rest was history. Shanleigh has been one of Jocelyn's bestfriends and biggest support systems through her time in college and beyond. Shanleigh and Jocelyn performed one of their final recitals together in college where the best part was singing duets together. They endured one of the most difficult instructors to grace the University of Washington. Shanleigh's family welcomed Jocelyn and Rachel in their home, despite split allegiance to WSU (GO DAWGS ALWAYS, but that tortilla soup Shanleigh's mom made will always be the best). Jocelyn has always admired Shanleigh's intelligence, her drive and her overwhelming support of her friends. She feels so lucky to have Shanleigh by her side on her big day.

Shanleigh Sullivan

Jocelyn and Leandra's friendship first started out as competitors at Seattle University School of Law's mock trial competitions. Leandra was confident, brilliant and successful. Jocelyn loved the competition level and to see another woman succeed. After the first year of competing the two joined forces and formed a succesful mock trial team that made it to northwest regionals. Jocelyn and Leandra also worked as Rule 9's for the King County Prosecutor's Office spending hours at the office prepping and completing trials. Throughout the whole experience, Leandra supported and encouraged Jocelyn to succeed and ultimately played a vital role in helping Jocelyn achieve her goal of being a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney with the office. Following law school Jocelyn and Leandra became roommates in Seattle and both worked at the Involuntary Treatment Act Division with KCPAO. Despite the exhausting, emotional and stressful work, Leandra always supported and encouraged Jocelyn. Jocelyn would not be the Prosecutor she is today without the guidance and friendship of Leandra and she is so lucky to call her one of her closest friends.

Leandra Craft

Brandon and Jocelyn met at the University of Washington when Jocelyn was the director of the UW Leaders program and Brandon became her mentee. The two bonded over a mutual love of country music and Law and Order SVU. What was meant to be a mentor/mentee relationship quickly turned into an instant friendship and bond that remained throughout the course of their college career and after. During college Brandon and Jocelyn both supported and encouraged one another to join as many groups as possible and run for different positions in student government. They were one another's biggest cheerleaders and would stop at nothing to see the other succeed. Jocelyn and Brandon would also spend hours on the couch, watching Law and Order SVU, drinking okay beer and gossiping of course. Some of Jocelyn's favorite memories with Brandon are boating with the random people they met on the ferry, staying up all night and talking about what they saw for their future, listening to country music and watching the CMA's, watching and quoting Twister, and traveling to Missoula to meet his family and shoot some guns (Jocelyn's parents were very displeased since this was the first time she had shot a gun). Brandon is one of the kindest most thoughtful humans that Jocelyn has ever met and she can't wait for him to be there on her wedding day.

Brandon Bowles

Kayla is Jocelyn's oldest friend. The two met at Christian Childcare in Thousand Oaks, California when they were only four years old. Throughout the early years of their friendship, the two would have many sleepover... attempts. Ultimately leading to Jocelyn getting too scared because she was a huge chicken and calling to be sent home. One of Jocelyn's favorite memories is when Kayla's family would have golden retreiver puppies for the girls to play with. After Jocelyn left California the two maintained their friendship and they would visit one another at each other's homes. Fortunately, Kayla had family in the Seattle area and whenever she would come visit the girls would see one another. In 2017, Kayla finally made the big move up to Seattle and they both get to spend time together often. Whenever Jocelyn sees Kayla she knows it's going to be a a fun and exciting time. She is so happy to have her oldest friend stand beside her at her wedding.
