Our Wedding

Tanya and James met their Sophomore year at Seattle University in the bible study group that met in their dorm. Tanya and their friend Justina had volunteered to bake an apple pie for a Thanksgiving dinner and they roped James into helping. The connection between them was instant! They both became Younglife leaders when the club was established on campus, and spent time planning events, watching silly movies, and joking around, a lot! It wasn’t until their senior year that they realized that they had a crush on each other, and after some back and forth, they began dating shortly before graduation. Right after they graduated, James went to Beyond Malibu (a Younglife camp) for three months where he lived in the Canadian wilderness with no phone, and led groups of students on weeklong backpacking trips through the mountains. The first few months of their relationship consisted of handwritten letters that took weeks to reach each other; it was very Dear John! Right before James left for Beyond, they took a nighttime walk on the Alki board walk, and told each other they were in in it for the long haul. Two years later, under the guise that they were going to dinner on the board walk, James did a surprise proposal on the dock with both of their families in attendance! It was such a special moment revisiting the area where they had made a special commitment to each other, and getting to have their families with them to share in the special moment was a dream come true. They are so excited to spend the rest of their lives together, and look forward to celebrating with all of you!&nbsp;

Travel

Lake Chelan State Park has a long, sandy beach, shaded picnic tables and a calm lagoon. The 50.5-mile lake, with a depth of 1,486 feet, draws boaters, sailors, anglers, water skiers, windsurfers and seasonal residents. The area features some of the finest hiking trails in Washington, and adventurous hikers make the park their base from which to explore the North Cascades. For visitors hoping to chill out in their camp chairs, float the lagoon in a raft and soak up the homey atmosphere with family and friends, this place cannot be beat.

Chelan Riverwalk Park is located adjacent to downtown Chelan. The one-mile loop consists of a paved path and a boardwalk. You’ll walk over two bridges as you complete the loop around the river. It’s a beautiful place to stroll at sunset!

With 2,000 feet of waterfront&nbsp;Don Morse Park&nbsp;is 40 acres of fun! This area is wonderful for swimming, boating or just relaxing in the sun.

Don Morse Memorial Park

Slidewaters is a beautiful waterpark with views of the lake below. It’s exceptionally clean and there are plenty of attractions. There are&nbsp;lots of waterslides, a lazy river, the world’s largest stationary wave, and much more! It’s a true oasis during the summer.

Slidewaters

Visitors to this stunning oasis are first greeted by natural beauty. Besides breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains, the impeccably landscaped grounds offer a tapestry of rockeries and gardens connected by natural stone bridges, slate terrazzo, and walks highlighted by Tuscan stone columns, a grape arbor, and a 35-foot bell tower. There are photo opportunities at every turn. But as pleasing as this destination is to the eyes, even greater pleasures await the palate.

This is another gorgeous winery painted in a deep yellow with plenty of stonework. Their arbor overlooking the lake is the perfect spot for photos.

The views of the lake are beautiful, and this winery is pet-friendly. In addition to the tasting room, they serve pizza from brick oven.
