Our wedding will be an untraditional but intimate experience with family-only in attendance. We plan to have a quick standing ceremony on the beach where we'll both read vows. Afterwards, we invite everyone to join us to celebrate the merging of our families over dinner. Exact locations to be determined, as we are working with a professional elopement photographer who will help recommend options for us. More details to come - we will let everyone know specifics as we figure them out! We will be staying in Cannon Beach Friday, August 16 - Tuesday, August 20 and invite anyone interested in making a trip of the weekend to join us for whatever days they can. On the "Travel" page, you'll find hotel recommendations in Cannon Beach.

We're an online dating success story with a twist! Kassidi found Ben on the dating app Bumble back in 2018 and noticed that his profile listed he worked at the same company as her at the time. She had a "strict" rule of not dating people from work, but his profile was too good. She asked her friend Kirstie if she knew him and if he was a nice guy before swiping right, to which her friend responded "he is the nicest sweetest boy you will ever meet." From there, Kassidi swiped right and it was a match! From there, it was an instant connection. We began texting nonstop and had our first date that weekend, which Ben planned. We did a whiskey tasting at Southland Whiskey Kitchen, then went to Punchbowl Social for same games (that Kassidi got her ass beat in). The rest is history - 5 years, a dog, and home later!
