Why such a small wedding?
When we started to think about our wedding, everything we envisioned was cozy, private, and very small. Our vision has had to pivot a few times due to uncontrollable circumstances.
As we made adjustments through our planning and things started to fall into place, we realized our ideal wedding was forming into a reality. Including finding a very small venue (cabin) with a stunning outdoor space by the river that could accommodate a guest list just big enough for our immediate family. Keeping the ceremony small provides a feeling of a big family dinner, rather than big production. It feels like us.
Why Index?
Index, Washington is where Lake Serene and Bridal Veil Falls trail is located, and was the location of our first date. We intend to hike the trail the day before the wedding to share a private moment and share our vows to each other. On the wedding day our immediate family will meet us at a small cabin near the trail for the official ceremony.
Why did you choose June 8th?
June 8, 2024 will be our 5th dating anniversary. We wanted to incorporate the same date and location of our first date.
Who will perform the ceremony?
We have asked Logan's sister, Breana, to perform the ceremony. She has graciously accepted and is honoring us with this special gift. It means so much to us to have her marry us and makes our day that much more special.
Where are you registered?
We have been fortunate to build our home together over the recent years (literally). In doing so we have acquired all material possessions we desire and/or need. For that reason we have chosen not to create a formal registry.
We’ve had several people express that they’d still like to gift something, and while gifts are not anticipated or expected, we have created a honeymoon fund for those who wish to contribute. The link can be found in the Registry section.
Could you live stream the ceremony?
Unfortunately the internet and cell reception at the cabin is specifically noted to be poor. We will look to see if recording it would be feasible but the sound quality and framing might not be sufficient. We also want all our family in attendance to be present and in the moment with us - not focused on recording. It’s not off the table, we just can’t make any promises.
