Our Wedding

According to Facebook, Tyler and Lauren have been official (officially friends that is) since April 2012. They met at The Evergreen State College, Tyler was running a pick-up soccer group on campus and Lauren just showed up to see what it was all about. In a move that can only be described as bold, Tyler asked Lauren if she was Filipino (spoiler alert: she’s not) and the rest is, well, history. After a whole lot of soccer and a lot of late nights studying (at least that’s what Lauren told her parents) they became fast friends. What these two didn’t know at the time was that they had just started a long, sometimes messy but absolutely beautiful friendship that would carry them through a decade of life’s ups and downs. Fast forward to 2022 these two finally figured it out and gave long-distance dating a try. For a full year, they traded off visiting each other between San Diego and Seattle. Tyler got a taste of San Diego’s sunny beaches (and, let’s be real, flip-flop culture) and soon agreed to make the big move south. In January 2024, Tyler’s grand journey from the evergreen state to the land of burritos and perfect weather officially kicked off. These days, you’ll find Tyler and Lauren walking their dog, Kylo, on the beach at La Jolla Shores, making fresh poke from fish bought at the local docks, or enjoying tacos and sunshine. Excited doesn’t even begin to cover how they feel about celebrating their upcoming wedding in the state where it all began. They’re looking forward to celebrating their lasting friendship, their transition into marriage, and a full, adventurous life ahead. After the wedding, Lauren will return to her work with college students at the University of California San Diego, and Tyler will continue making magic with exciting ingredients at Trader Joe’s as a crew member. They are fully embracing DINK life (look it up, it’s safe to google at work) post nuptials, but will happily babysit or pet-sit for any family members in need. For now the couple is quite satisfied with life in San Diego and hope that you find time to vacation with them in the city they have come to call home.

It all started when...

Our Story

Wedding Party

Due to the season and location we would love for you to wear dressy summer attire! Our ceremony will take place outdoors on grass. The rest of the evening will be in the venue’s wonderful indoor spaces with the outdoor area still very much accessible. Evenings can be cool so a light jacket or shawl are a good idea. Typically for West Seattle the daytime highs are in the mid 70s and nighttime lows are in the high 50s. It is Seattle though, so rain can happen! If you like more inspiration our colors are green and orange, so feel free to embrace it, if that’s your style! Most importantly-wear whatever makes you feel your best and gets you ready to celebrate with us!

Dress Code

Q + A

Our wedding will be held at The Hall at Fauntleroy (9131 California Ave SW, Seattle, WA) — a beautifully restored 1900s-era former schoolhouse nestled in a quiet, leafy West Seattle neighborhood. While it’s tucked into a more relaxed residential area, it’s still very accessible and close to beaches, parks and the downtown Seattle skyline. We have put together some suggestions! While accommodations in west Seattle may seem slim, the greater Seattle area will be a great option and offer a wide variety of options from pricey to budget! For our guests who will be looking to stay and see the sights we suggest things near Downtown Seattle or Capitol Hill. If you are looking for a quick weekend look into staying closer to SEA-TAC Airport as our venue is a short ride up from the airport, there are some great options in walking distance of the airport if you are looking to skip the car rental. Feel free to check out the things to do page for inspiration!

West Seattle has very few "hotel-style" lodging options but the West Seattle in is a great option in the neighborhood of the venue. It has free parking and a continental breakfast!

The Grove West Seattle Inn

Alki Beach is located in West Seattle and is relatively close the the venue with epic views of the iconic Seattle skyline. Rentals near this beach would for sure give you the rest and relaxation you were looking for during the wedding weekend! If you want to find a piece of our love story! We once put a love lock out by the water with other love locks on Alki Beach!

Iconic food, flowers and fish throwing. Go a level deeper to find the gum wall.

Pike Place Market

One of the couple's first dates and a very fun place to spend half a day down on the water!

Seattle Aquarium

Classic Seattle Views, remake your own favorite movie moment at the top!

Space Needle

This place is stunning and always has a great memory in Lauren's mind. Did she wish she had money for a glass garden wedding, you bet your bottom dollar!

Chihuly Garden and Glass

Located in the ID (International District) this Asian American Museum holds so much of the history and storytelling of Asian immigration to America. Lauren first visited this museum in college and it forever changed the way she talks about her family story. Pair it with dim sum to go at Dim Sum King and eat it Hing Hay Park right behind it!

Wing Luke Museum

Take some time to stroll and see the gardens. This area has amazing trees and tons of beautiful trails. If you are looking for a little extra to add on stop and pay for admission to the Seattle Japanese Garden!

Washington Park Arboretum

This park and beach has the best views of the Seattle skyline!

Alki Beach Park

If you are looking for an even bigger day trip take the Ferry over the sound to Bainbridge Island. Have a cute little lunch, explore the town or find some great views!

Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal

Seattle has the best parks and trails. This area is a great place to see some water views!

Discovery Park

If you love fish it is a cool stop with wonderful views of the Salmon ladders that help fish and boats travel Seattle waterways. Also another one of the couples previous date spots.

Ballard Locks Fish Ladder

With amazing views of Lake Union this park is iconic Seattle with a little bit of history and funk in it's history of being a former oil plant!

Gas Works Park

With the zoo being connected to the larger area of Woodland Park and Green Lake, even if you decide not to buy tickets to the zoo (We know how spoiled we are in San Diego). You could spend some time here enjoying all the recreational activities available to you in this area. I believe this is a place where you can rent boats or paddle boards to float on Green Lake.
