Our Wedding

With the courteous help of the commonly known dating app, Bumble, Ivan and Riley matched and immediately connected…almost.

First date…cancelled 

A poorly scheduled Chicago layover and Riley’s newly started skin care routine resulted in a very swollen face which didn’t seem like the best first impression. Date cancelled…

First date…rescheduled!

With a few hours in Ivan’s tightly packed hustle, Riley and Ivan met at Buffalo Wild Wings for their very first successful date. As the four hour long date came to an end, Ivan was quite shocked when Riley swooped in for a kiss which only seemed reasonable to her given they’d been chatting and laughing the evening away. Safe to say Riley wasn’t messing around.

Second date!

Being a proper gentleman, upon arrival Ivan knocked on the Doherty’s front door and introduced himself to Riley’s pilot father. Little did she realize they’d have a solid 20 minutes worth of airplane talk before she could steal Ivan back and begin the date.

And the rest is history!

Ivan and Riley quickly met each other’s families. With resounding approval, a holiday deadline, and a couple of incorrectly addressed texts, they never looked back.

From a reluctant groom and dance partner at Riley’s early weddings, Jack is now a willing and excited friend and brother to both the groom and bride. Minimal seriousness expected

Taylor was always the last to let an unsuitable partner lock her sister down. Luckily, without the advise of Riley, Ivan volunteered to roadtrip Taylor to Denver and it turned out better than anyone expected! Couldn’t be more fitting for Riley’s two biggest protectors to create such a strong friendship.

This family-owned cafe is definitely our favorite breakfast/brunch restaurant in town. Every dish we’ve tried from sweet to savory is amazing.

Rusty Pelican

By far the best Mexican in town. Quality food and great staff here that creates a fun environment right downtown.

Santa Fe Mexican Grill & Cantina

Looking for a vintage cocktail and the best bartenders? Daphnes may be tiny but it is worth the experience. Such a great local spot.

Daphnes Bar

This laid back pub is an Edmonds locals go to spot. Live music most nights and fun people are guaranteed.

Engel's Pub

Since 1924, this one screen theater has kept its old fashion character while showing mainstream movies.

Edmonds Theater

From 9am-2pm on Saturday come see over 90 vendors and take a stroll through the market. Everything from crafts to pizza to fresh fruit and flowers. Great morning activity.

Edmonds Saturday Summer Market

Such a fun environment. Great pick for a relaxed spot in the heart of downtown. Quality happy hour M-F 3pm-6pm to start off a fun night around town.

A Very Taki Tiki Bar & Grill

Easygoing restaurant near the water serving Caribbean cuisine, tropical cocktails, and a great Sunday brunch!
