8 Years in the making!

The health and safety of everyone in our lives is our first priority. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and Washington state law, we have made the difficult decision to limit ceremony attendance to immediate family and those people living in the Tri-Cities area. We will be live-streaming the ceremony and will hold a full reception with all of our family and friends once it is safe to do so (date TBD). Your Save-the-Date represents an invitation to that future gathering, and we will let you know as soon as we have set a time and place. We love each and every one of you and look forward to a time when we can all celebrate together. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to do your part to slow the spread of COVID-19 by wearing a mask in public, limiting physical contact with others and washing your hands often!

When we were sophomores in high school, we attended the same youth group at Christ the King (where we are now getting married) and were placed in the same discussion group. We became fast friends, and Carryn asked me to go to a Sadie Hawkin's dance with her. I (Denin), uh, said no.... I had just started seeing someone else at the time. Fortunately, we remained friends throughout our college years (largely thanks to the marriage of our best man and matron-of-honor) and always remained drawn to one another. One day, I finally decided that I should just ask her to get a drink and see what happened. That first date went waaaaaaaay better than first dates are supposed to go, and the rest is history.
