The story of Ellie & Nic begins almost twenty years ago on a dock at Triangle Lake, brought together by the dearest of friends. Yet we both had travel, adventures, and lots of learning to do before we’d reconnect. After nearly two decades of drive-by high-fives at the Country Fair, OCF 2014 had something else in store… Just as before, friends brought us together, that fated Saturday night. Call it love at second sight! Upon seeing Ellie dance, Nicholas, struck by the realization, turned to a friend and said “I’m going to marry that woman and have her babies.” The very next eve we wandered the moonlit path accompanied by the romantic melodies of flamenco guitar, moving ever closer to one another. Within a week we had plans to visit across state lines, within two months we had declared our love from a mountain top (literally), within four months Nicholas had moved to Portland. Three years, many house plants, and a trip to Ireland later, we find ourselves madly in love and thrilled as hell to be celebrating the road ahead with all of you, our beloved, for our wedding. Thank you for being a part of our journey and joining us on our special day!
