Our story began on a warm July day in Seattle’s Chophouse Row, a tucked away courtyard just off the bustling streets of Capitol Hill. We had both come to celebrate the annual Capitol Hill Block Party, a music festival that transforms the neighborhood’s streets into stages and beer gardens. Jenny had slipped into the courtyard for a breather from the crowd, while Sam was there to support a friend playing a set on an intimate stage nestled between a cozy wine bar and vining plants. We struck up a conversation, Sam asked Jenny to dance, and the rest was history. Fast forward five years to a day of torrential downpour in Venice, Italy. Determined to experience the city despite the storm, we made our way to a scenic point where two canals converge, battling strong winds that threatened to destroy our umbrellas. There, in his metallic blue galoshes, Sam got down on one knee and asked Jenny to spend the rest of their lives exploring together, no matter the weather. As we enter this new season of our lives, we feel so grateful to gather with the people who’ve cheered us on and celebrated each milestone along the way. We can’t wait to celebrate with you all!
