We're eloping!
We have chosen to elope, just the two of us, in June on Orcas Island, one of the San Juan Islands here in the PNW. Our Happily Ever After Party is an opportunity to celebrate with our friends and family after we get married. We hope to see you there!
Our Story
We met in grad school at the University of Washington in June 2021. Though we introduced ourselves at orientation, it took a few months to really connect. In September, I sat next to Eric in class for the first time, we started talking, and basically never stopped. We developed a friendship, spending so much time together in class, in study groups, and at our weekly grad school happy hours. We really got to know each other before we started dating and we had feelings for each other for a while before Eric mustered up the courage to make a move in January. We decided to keep our relationship private at first so we could stay professional within our master's cohort and to make sure we were serious about each other before involving our families. When graduation arrived in June 2022, I made the spontaneous decision to introduce Eric to my parents (who loved him upon first meeting), and we shared the news of our relationship with the rest of our grad school friends (who already had their suspicions but were happy nonetheless). We moved in together in March 2023 and got engaged and bought our house a year later. We've been remodeling our home, getting to know our new neighborhood of Maple Leaf, and enjoying life as fiancés ever since.

Flight
Seattle–Tacoma International Airport
Train
Link Light Rail
The light rail is a very budget-friendly and convenient option to get directly from the airport all the way up to North Seattle. The schedules are consistent, and you can buy tickets beforehand and access them from your phone.
Travel Note
Where to Stay
We recommend using Airbnb for your accommodations. The venue is in the small neighborhood of Madrona, so hotels are limited. The following neighborhoods would be excellent choices: 1. Capitol Hill: Very close to the reception location, with tons of restaurants and bars, a lively atmosphere, and a Link light rail stop for convenient public transit. 2. Fremont: Located between our reception location and morning after sendoff. It has the best views of the city from Gas Works Park, as well as some other Seattle landmarks. 3. Green Lake: very close to morning after sendoff and very relaxing. We lived within walking distance to the lake for 3 years and adore the area. Feel free to reach out to Eric (651) 387-5748 or Teagan (626) 808-3784 with any questions!

Things To Do
Green Lake Park
The 2.8 mile path around the lake makes for a lovely Seattle stroll. There are even some bustling pickleball courts for those dedicated to their play. If water sports are more your speed, there are boat rentals on the east side, perfect on a sunny September day.
Dinner & Drinks - Phinney Ridge
Oliver's Twist is one of our favorite cocktail bars, but there are so many great spots in this very walkable area. There is Pie Bar, Nutty Squirrel Gelato and so many more places that we've tried and loved.
Gas Works Park
The best views of the city and Lake Union, and close to one of our favorite breweries (Fremont Brewing's Urban Beer Garden) and one of our favorite bakeries (Lazy Cow). This park is a perfect add on to any adventure in Fremont, and better than the famous Troll.
Ballard Breweries
There may be 200 breweries in Seattle, but most are in Ballard. One of our favorites is Urban Family and it’s within blocks of about 5 other great choices and tons of food truck options.
Pike Place Market
One of the oldest farmers markets in the country. Very busy but iconic! There are tons of fun city tours or food tours all starting from this location.
Ballard Locks, Gardens and Salmon Ladder
If you want to walk around and watch some impressive boat traffic, the locks can't be beat! Plus, you may be able to witness the last few days of the salmon run at the fish ladder. Spend some extra time walking around the gardens in that area before heading to the breweries nearby.
Discovery Park
The largest city park in Seattle. Gorgeous views of and walks along the Puget Sound. Look out and see the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges from the lighthouse.
Bainbridge Island
Our favorite day trip is to walk onto the ferry (from downtown Seattle) and travel over to Bainbridge Island. There are a number of little shops, coffee, wine and restaurants. Seattle is known for its ferries, keep your eyes out for whales in the Sound.
Wine Tasting - Woodinville
Wine tasting is a great activity in Seattle regardless of the weather! We recommend Hollywood area in Woodinville with dozens of tasting rooms and ample parking. If you want to wine taste in the city, check out SODO district just a few blocks from the light rail station.
Moderate Hike - Debbie's View
A moderate and low elevation hike close to Seattle with views of Mt. Rainier to the left and the city to the right! Look at trail maps and expand your hike however you want.
Difficult Hike - Mount Si Trail
This hike will burn your legs up, but it’s one of the famous views near Seattle. Try to get there early due to a busy trailhead.
Moderate Hike - Rattlesnake Ledge Trail
This is an iconic lake and mountain view popular near Seattle. Fairly steep, but beautiful and has some shoreline to relax after your workout.
