Wedding Celebration Party

Our Wedding Celebration

It started with a postcard from Alaska in 2018. Over a month after their first (Tinder) date, Spencer was commercial fishing and wrote to Natalie from AK. It's safe to say that if you revert to pen-and-paper communication, you're probably in deep. Another two years of commercial fishing passed, with ski dates, dog park dates, "laundry" dates, Hales Brewing (RIP) dates, and El Camion (also RIP) dates in the offseason. By that time, Natalie figured out Spencer could, in fact, do his laundry at Fisherman's Terminal for free and that it was just his excuse to visit regularly and "cook her salmon". On the day they left on their first official getaway together, coincidentally, the world shut down. Their gracious host, Taylor, said "Stay as long as you want!" (what a guy). And they did just that. Their first real trip quickly turned into three months. On their first trip back to their previous homes in WA, they packed up everything they had and moved to Bend. It's been three years since that trip, and through ups and downs, they've built a relationship that is undeniable to them. Undeniable to the extent that they would love nothing more than to celebrate their commitment to each other, for the rest of their lives, with you!
