10:30 am - 11:00 am
Semi-Casual Attire: Wear sundresses, floral prints, and suits in lighter hues. Keep in mind the unpredictability of Oregon weather in May and pack accordingly. Rain jackets or umbrellas are never a bad idea to have on hand! Also, you will have to walk on a short trail and through some grass at the actual ceremony + brunch sites, so we recommend planning your shoes accordingly.
The first hike we ever did together was in the Columbia River Gorge and we've since enjoyed many more. It is one of our favorite places to escape the city and take the dogs for weekend adventures full of hiking, camping, and brewery hopping. Thunder Island is about a 5 minute walk from Gorges Beer Co., where we'll be hosting a brunch after the ceremony. You can either park at Gorges Beer Co. and walk down (recommended), or you can find parking at Thunder Island and then re-park at Gorges Beer Co. after the ceremony.

For those that are coming out for the ceremony, we've arranged for a brunch at Gorges Beer Co. to continue the festivities with great food, yard games, and a sneaky little mimosa bar.
6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Cocktail Attire: Wear cocktail dresses, LBDs, dressy jumpsuits, and dark jackets and slacks. You can also wear the same outfit you wore to the ceremony, we won't judge!
Brooklyn Carreta is one of our favorite neighborhood food cart pods and it's only ~1.5 miles from our house, making it an easy bike ride away on those nights we can't agree on what to eat for dinner. We may come for the food, but we stay for the pinball machines, delicious cocktails, pool table, and ultimate community feel. We're so excited to share this space with you all starting with some light appetizers followed by your choice of dinner from one of the 18 food cart options on-site. Throughout the evening we will have an open bar with NA options available. Of course it wouldn't be a party without dancing, so around 8pm we'll make space for the dance floor to get the silliest it's ever been with a great local DJ.
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Athletic: Wear whatever is most comfortable to get your booty whooped in pickleball, bocce ball, ping pong, or corn hole.
To know us is to know we love a good friendly competition. While the cool kids are out at the *clubs* on Friday and Saturday nights, you can often find us at The People's Courts competing for the Grand Master of All Time at pickleball. We also love a good game of bocce ball, ping pong, or corn hole, so this place is basically our church. We'll have some light bites and drinks for fueling up. Join us if you want to get whooped in any/all of the sporting events offered.
12:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
We'll be keeping the party going with lunch and some samplings of our favorite Oregon beer, cider, and wine. There will also be some lawn games for continued friendly competition at the park. At 1:15pm we will be opening up the floor to anyone who wants to roast or toast the happy couple. The picnic will be at the sheltered area right next to the Willamette Park Playground (if you put Willamette Park Playground into Google Maps it will take you to the shelter). If you come into the park heading east on S Nebraska St., take a right on S Beaver Ave and it will take you directly to a parking lot where the shelter is. There is some parking right next to the picnic area, and more a little further north up S Beaver Ave from the picnic area. There's also a great bike path along the SW waterfront that will take you to the park from downtown if anyone wants to rent a Biketown bike to get to and from the picnic!
9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Athletic: Wear whatever is most comfortable for you to hike in.
The trail is ~4 miles total out and back with ~650 ft in elevation gain, and a spectacular view of Mt. Hood mirrored off a lake (hence the name) as your reward at the top. This is an easy, family friendly hike with the option to pop over to Timberline Lodge afterwards for one of their famous hot chocolates! Dave has verified the ease of this hike for those that were concerned about this being an "easy hike" by Sage's standards.
