In short, because we want to share it with you! Hood River and the surrounding is the setting to so many of our best memories. - It’s where Lauren got her first grown-up job. - It’s where Harley grew up running the waterfront - It's where Mikey took Kristen when she came to visit From the Columbia River Gorge to Mt. Hood, Hood River provides the best backdrop for defining who we are as a couple, and with Harley, as a family. We don’t want to just tell you about our lives, we want you to experience it. Besides, it's one of the most beautiful parts of the Pacific Northwest and Oregon. Don't believe us? Come see it for yourself!

The Crag Rat Hut is the official club house of the Crag Rats, America’s oldest mountain rescue organization. The Hut overlooks the surrounding valley and showcases Mt. Hood & Mt. Adams, orchards, farmlands, forests, and the scenic Gorge. The venue's casual, yet classy. Quirky, yet fun. Pray for good weather! We want you to take in the views!

Truly, it takes a village. Lauren and Mikey have been so blessed over the years to have been surrounded by love from both friends and family. There are countless memories and experiences that have shaped us along the way into who we are today. Many of those moments were made by you! This is our opportunity to say thank you. To celebrate everything our "village" has put into us, and to thank you for being apart of our lives. Truly, we hope you will join us. And if you cannot make it, please do not feel bad! We would like to then celebrate with you at another time. Life is too short to worry. We look forward to spending another time together with you.
