Welcome to our wedding website – we are so glad you’re here! We have created this website as a helpful resource for all of the need-to-know details in the lead up to our big day. Here you will find our schedule, venue directions, accommodations, bridal party introductions, and information about the area for those traveling from afar. We would love for you to take a look around to learn more about our wedding day plans. Don’t forget to RSVP and let us know about any dietary preferences, too. And finally, thanks so much for all of your love and support so far. We cannot wait to celebrate this special day with all of our favorite people. — Fred and Dakota

While some people meet their significant other at a bar, we met behind one. Our story began in 2015 in DC. Many say "it was love at first sight" when they first met their spouse, but that was far from the case for us. Those who know Fred know that he is a man of few words before he really knows someone. Those who know me know very well that I can be quite the chatterbox. It is safe to say I annoyed him every shift until he finally warmed up and we became great friends. We lost touch briefly after we both moved on to different jobs, but we later reconnected. I planned his birthday party and two weeks later he planned mine. Eventually, we both realized "this just works." Our close friendship turned into a relationship, and it has been working ever since. Our advice to anyone out there: marry your best friend!
