Ella and Seve met in college at Seattle University. It was fall of 2016, Ella a sophomore and Seve a senior. We both worked at the campus gym, where we met many of our closest friends (shout out to U-REC!!). We worked a shift together and both caught each others attention quickly (you could say (almost) love at first sight). We would spend more of our shifts chatting, laughing, and joking around with each other with very little work getting done. Then came halloween where we ran into each other at the local college bar. Ella showed off her dance moves (a moon walk to be specific) which she hasn't done since, and the rest is history. We spent a few years in Seattle, adopted our dog Willa, moved to Portland Oregon in 2020 when Ella started chiropractic school. We bought a cute little fixer upper in 2021 that we still call home. Ella graduated as Dr. Fisher from chiropractic school in December of 2023 and started her job specializing as a pediatric and perinatal chiropractor. Seve works in tech and has worked at Amazon the past 5 years. In the winters you'll catch us on the slopes and in the summer floating down the Deschutes River or out at the Oregon Coast. When we're not out adventuring, you can usually find us at home working on a new house project. Seve proposed to Ella on April 26th 2024 at Cannon Beach in Oregon. It was the most magical, perfect day followed by a weekend celebrating with our families and close friends! Our wedding will be held at a family property known as Royal Orchard in Afton, Virginia. Ella's Great Great Grandparents purchased Royal Orchard, previously an apple orchard, in 1905. Royal Orchard is located on Afton Mountain in Afton, Virginia and believe it or not, the Appalachian trail runs directly through the property at the very top of the mountain. In 1910, construction began on "The Big House" which serves as the centerpiece of Royal Orchard. As the family grew, several cottages were built around the property to make room for a growing family. Over the last 100+ years Royal Orchard continues to be a gathering place for many generations of Ella's family. Including family weddings, one of which was Ella's parents! We're so excited to spend the weekend with the people we love most and share this special place!
