Our Wedding

We met in 2016 on a college band trip. Jordan was completely smitten with Kylie, while she was completely oblivious! Our paths wouldn’t cross again until Spring Term when we had a class together. Jordan mustered up the courage to ask Kylie out with a note she wrote full of music based puns. Kylie was touched by such a sweet gesture and immediately said yes!

Over the years we’ve loved exploring the Oregon Coast. Our favorite beaches are Crescent Beach, Short Sand Beach, and Tunnel Beach.

Back in 2019 we adopted our cat, Cricket! Whether she's shredding up some cardboard, splashing around in her water bowl, or snuggling up with us in bed Cricket has been a huge source of joy in our lives.

Along with trips to the beach we love going camping, paddleboarding, hiking, and playing soccer. We also enjoy getting in touch with our nerdy side by playing Dungeon's &amp; Dragons with our friends.

Some may know that our first ever camping trip was a bit of a disaster. We got to our campsite late, the rain was blowing sideways, Kylie got hypothermia, and our tent flooded! But we kept our cool and worked together to make the most of a bad situation. After eight years of working together through tough situations like stressful school semesters, career changes, moving in together, and several travel mishaps our love and commitment to each other has only grown. Back in May of 2024 we celebrated our seventh anniversary in the same location as our first camping trip, Cape Lookout. Unlike our first venture out there, everything went perfectly! We hiked out to the tip of the Cape Trail to watch the sunset. Now it was Kylie's turn to muster up her courage. Much like Jordan seven years ago, Kylie wrote down a heartfelt message asking Jordan to marry her. And much like Kylie all those years ago, Jordan was touched by her words and said YES!

Introducing our wild wedding party!

We met Alex in college when his now fiancée, Kayla, introduced us during a marching band rehearsal. We have bonded over years of playing of D&D, camping, and paddle boarding. Alex is a wonderful friend, roommate, and uncle to Cricket. We are so honored to have Alex officiate our wedding! 

Alex Duff

I met Jorie met in our freshman Engineering 101 class and we quickly formed a beautiful friendship based on puns, musical theater references, and loving heckling. Three years as college roommates only made our friendship stronger and I couldn't imagine having anyone else by my side. 

Jorie Cheng-Leever

Kayla and I were destined to be friends ever since we were born 45 minutes apart on opposite sides of the country. We met our freshman year of college at band camp and quickly teamed up to survive the horrors of calc class. We enjoy doing puzzles, star gazing, and generally being goofballs together. Kayla never fails to make me laugh and brings so much joy to my life!

Sean and I met four years ago while I was working at FedEx. He invited me to join a new D&D campaign he was going to DM and we’ve been playing ever since. Together, we’ve battled the crowds at Comic Con, cheered on the Timbers, and gotten rowdy at the St. Paul Rodeo. Sean has been my ride or die bestie and I couldn’t have asked for a better Best Friend of Honor!

Sean Slaugh

I met Amanda four years ago when her husband, Sean, invited me to join the D&D campaign he was DMing. Over the years we’ve had a blast playing D&D as both players and DMs. Amanda and I have enjoyed talking about the intricacies of movies and TV shows and venting about our jobs over some coffee. Amanda is such a supportive friend and I am so lucky to have her by my side on my wedding day! 

Amanda Grubbs

About eight years ago I met Nicole in marching band and asked her to join my first D&D campaign. We’ve played a ton of D&D together over the last several years. Besides D&D Nicole and I have bonded over late nights watching anime, our shared love of horror podcasts, and enabling each other into spending way too much money on little treats. I am so glad to have Nicole with me on this special day!

Outdoor Activities

Portland / Willamette Valley

Silver Falls is about an hour and a half south of Portland and has one of the most famous trails in Oregon. The 8 mile Trail of 10 Falls passes by 10 waterfalls. Do the whole loop or just visit some of them. South Falls is easily accessible from the parking lot and you can hike down and walk behind it.

Silver Falls State Park

Founded in 1928 to conserve endangered species and educate the community, Hoyt Arboretum encompasses 190 ridge-top acres and 12 miles of hiking trails just minutes from downtown Portland. Home to 2,300 species of trees and shrubs from six continents. Jordan's favorite are the Redwoods!

Hoyt Arboretum

Columbia River Gorge

Take a drive along the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Highway and stop by its many, many waterfalls! If you plan to visit Multnomah Falls, you may need to reserve a timed entry permit here: https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10089144

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area

This is one of our favorite easy Columbia Gorge hikes! It's a relatively easy 2.4 miles roundtrip out to a beautiful waterfall. Make sure to purchase a $5 Northwest Forest daypass beforehand or at the parking lot via QR code.

Wahclella Falls Trail

A visit to the Bonneville Dam visitor center and fish viewing window is well worth it if you are in the area. Get an up close view of hundreds migrating salmon passing through the dam fish ladder. Early September is the peak migration time for Coho and Chinook salmon.

Bonneville Dam Fish Ladder and Viewing Window

Oregon Coast

Find a parking spot at Oceanside Beach Park and clamber through a tunnel at the north side of the beach to find the "secret" Tunnel Beach. Search for agates among the gravel on the shore or take in the breathtaking views. Pictures can't do it justice!

Search for Agates at Tunnel Beach

Just north of Cannon Beach, Ecola State Park is stunningly beautiful! Catch some stunning views of the coastline along were the Goonies were filmed. If you are up for a moderately strenuous hike, we recommend hiking down to Crescent Beach which has great tide pools and a waterfall cascading directly onto the sand.

Ecola State Park

This 3 mile roundtrip hike outside of Lincoln City is one of Jordan's favorite's and features a beautiful waterfall and a suspension bridge 100ft above the river cannon below! Go in the morning to catch sunbeams streaming through the canopy.

We fell in love with <a href="https://www.hillockburnfarm.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hillockburn Farm</a> instantly! Not only does this venue boast a beautiful field of native Oregon wildflowers but it is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping families in Oregon battle food insecurity. Using the donations they receive as a wedding venue they put everything back into the farm which then goes back to benefitting their community.
