Our story

The bride and groom met at Mother's Bistro for brunch on June 19th, 2016 in Portland, Oregon. He was finishing up the grad school program at U of O that brought him out West from Wisconsin. She had recently graduated from UW and had just been accepted to PA school at MCPHS. After the sparks on their first date, the next year consisted of many hikes, small trips out to the Oregon coast, nights on the town, and the groom giving the bride a robust education in shows like Entourage, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, and True Detective Season 1. In 2017, the bride left for Manchester, New Hampshire for PA school (a more classic kind of education). For two long years, their long-distance relationship consisted of nightly FaceTimes and multiple cross-country flights. Upon graduation at the end of 2019, they were so excited to be back together again. They moved out to Multnomah Village on the outskirts of Portland shortly after and then bought their home together in 2022. In 2023, Joe proposed to Rachel on a moonlit walk on the beach in Monterosso Al Mare, Italy where they were vacationing celebrating her birthday. It was raining. He cried. She cried. So here we are today. We are so very excited to celebrate our marriage with all of the people we love most in this world!
