Our Wedding

One Last Swipe

Like most millennials, our story starts on a dating app because apparently that is how love works now. Tyler messaged me on Hinge on December 31, 2023. I replied on January 1st, mostly because I was about to delete the app and decided to give it one last chance. Plot twist: best decision ever. We talked and talked, and at some point I realized that if I waited for him to ask for my number, we might still be chatting on Hinge today, so I asked him instead. Shortly after, we went on our first date to see the Astra Lumina lights. After the show, we wandered to a bar near Alki Beach, where we kept talking, eating, and having drinks like time did not exist. A black cat named Sausage stayed with us for a while, and when it was time to leave, he followed me all the way to my car. I briefly considered kidnapping him. After that, we kept hanging out, and the rest is history.

Soft pastels and bright, cheerful colors are welcome. For shoes, go with block heels, wedges, dressy flats, or stylish sandals something comfortable for walking on paths and indoor floors. For men, chinos or tailored linen trousers paired with a short- or long-sleeve button-up shirt are ideal. A lightweight jacket or blazer is optional for the evening. Finish with loafers, clean leather sneakers, or dress shoes.

If you’re spending time in Seattle, set aside a couple of hours for the most classic, “only-in-Seattle” walk: good views, great people-watching, and snacks that are actually worth the hype. It’s an easy area to explore on foot and perfect to pair with the waterfront.

While you’re there, grab the mac and cheese at&nbsp;Beecher's Handmade Cheese&nbsp;and don’t skip the ham-and-cheese croissant from&nbsp;Le Panier French Bakery—both are quick, iconic, and totally worth it.

Ebey’s Landing Trail&nbsp;is a classic coastal hike on Whidbey Island known for its dramatic bluff views, wide-open shoreline, and sweeping scenery across the Salish Sea. The route blends a bluff-top overlook with a beach walk, making it feel varied and scenic without being a long or technical trek.

There are also longer options (around&nbsp;5.5 miles round trip) if you start from other trailheads. Tip: the beach section can be uneven and tide conditions matter, so it’s smart to check before you go.
