Chloé and Jeff's story began as many romances have... on a dating app. 'Twas May of 2018 when they struck up a conversation on Bumble and decided to meet at Beech Street Parlor, a cozy bar tucked into an old craftsman house in Northeast Portland. After making eyes at one another over a drink and a conversation that all of the neighboring tables seemed to want in on, Jeff asked Chloé if she wanted to have another round. Her response? "No, I'm okay" Jeff was stunned. He was having a good time and surely there was chemistry-- but maybe she wasn't interested after all? Then Chloé said: "Actually, will you take a walk with me?" So they walked together to Irving Park and sat on a bench while the sun sank below the horizon. That bench is where they shared their first kiss, and where the love that they've built over the last four years began. Many dates, road trips, photographs, a rescued dog, and a purchased house later, Jeff decided to ask Chloé to marry him on their 4-year anniversary in one of their favorite places - a little town in far eastern Oregon called Joseph. On September 9th, 2023, we're so excited to bring you all to that same little town to witness our marriage and celebrate with us. Joseph is special to us in many ways: we've been coming here since early in our relationship, and have spent many an hour on the trails, ski slopes, and beautiful winding roads that cross Wallowa County. This area is called the "alps of Oregon" because the beautiful, snow capped Wallowa Mountains rise dramatically over the rolling hills of farm country dotted with cows and horses. This is the magical place where the love between Chloe and Jeff grew, and it feels like the perfect place to say our vows. We can't wait to see you there.
