An Overview

 We hope you accept our invitation to join us in the San Juan Islands, a gorgeous cluster of rocky shores that witnessed us falling in love and that reflects many of the things we value. Gather with us on Orcas, one of many islands in this welcoming wilderness, at Doe Bay, a place washed by indigo tides lively with whales and salmon, and overseen by bald eagles and ravens.

During our wedding we want to celebrate family and close friends, a community that is widely dispersed around the nation and globe. Given the distance we're asking many of you to travel, and because we want to have time to revel in the company and support of so many good people, we have extended the traditional Saturday wedding into a celebratory weekend!

We hope you'll make the effort to visit our paradise, take the time to revel in the place before and/or after being with us, and take a peace of it, us, and mind back home with you. Here is our general vision of the weekend. It includes opportunities for you to participate already, and we hope you will enhance it with your creative ideas!
