on a chilly October morning, somewhere along the Lava Canyon trail, when Bridger asked, "Do you wanna go steady?" Flora agreed without hesitation, but didn't really know what it meant. Seven years later, here we are: ready to put pen to paper. We will be married in a small, private ceremony in the morning on Saturday, October 3rd. We hope you will join us later that evening to celebrate with food, a list of favorite dancing songs, paper crowns and champagne.

Hotel
River's Edge hotel is located along the Willamette River in SW Portland, off of I-5, near Oregon Health and Science University (where Flora works). We have reserved a room block here, with discounted rates that you can access through the link below, or by calling and mentioning you are part of the Richey-Caldwell Wedding. Please note, there is a parking fee of $35 per night. MAX (orange line), The Portland Street Car, and several TriMet buses have stops nearby. The hotel also has easy access to the South Waterfront Greenway for walking, running and biking.
Hotel
The Society Hotel is a small, fun "boutique" hotel in downtown Portland. They have a collection of rooms and suites, as well as a hostel-style bunk room, a fun roof-top deck and a cafe with yummy food and drinks.
Travel Note
We love public transportation and multi-modal travel! Maybe you do too! Portland has an expansive transportation system that includes buses, trains, a streetcar, even an aerial tram! By far our favorite way to get around the city is by bike. Consider bringing a helmet, renting a bike through the Nike Bike Share program and experience some unparalleled bicycle infrastructure! Ride Shares like Lyft and Uber are also convenient options.
A vast arboretum with hiking trails and a picnic area. In close proximity to Washington Park, the International Rose Test Garden, Portland Zoo and the Japanese Garden.
One of our favorite parks with a great view of the city as well as Mt. Hood!
Portland is famous for our food cart pods, places you can go with a variety of cuisine options. The Heist is our favorite at the moment.
Newly renovated and reopened and located downtown in the Park Blocks, near Portland State University. Stop in on Saturday after the Portland Farmer's Market!
A cool indoor marketplace with some higher-end stuff and small affordable knick-knacks.
Large amazing board game/card game store. Lots of tabletop minis and cool stuff you might not find in other game stores.
A large selection of beers from around the world!
A great bar where you can find Flora's favorite sandwich (the soy curl banh mi), huge outdoor seating area and fun cocktails.
Home of Bridger's book club and a nice and kinda fancy steak dinner.
This is the bar where Flora and Bridger had their first "date". For the ultimate re-enactment experience, forget your ID, go to the third floor room, sit in the booth by the window and order tater tots.
Please let us know if you'll be able to attend prior to August 16th, 2026.
Of course!
Oh no, did we forget someone special?! We made an effort to account for plus-ones and invitations should be addressed to invitees but in the event that we made a mistake, please reach out!
We encourage carpooling and communicating with other guests for coordinating transportation. Given we have folks staying all around the city, we will not be providing shuttle service to/from hotels. If you have questions or concerns about getting around, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Yes, take as many pics as you'd like! We'll have a drop box folder you can share and our dear friend Rachel will be taking photos too!
We want to make sure everyone has what they need to make this event comfortable and safe. If you have specific needs or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out and we'll do our best to support what you need to attend.
