We never imagined when planning our wedding that things would be so up in the air two months before the big day. Who would have!? While we were keeping optimistic, the reality of the situation has made us make the difficult decision to cancel our big plans and have a small private ceremony in my parents backyard. This means unfortunately we won't be able to celebrate with the majority of you but are looking forward to a day when we can all get together again! For those interested, we will be hosting a virtual event so check back here for details on that. For those who are attending, we will be working diligently to make sure we're doing everything we can to follow CDC guidelines and practice social distancing. Of course this is going to be extremely difficult at an event like a wedding and we can't promise things are going to run perfectly but we're going to do the very best we can. If you'd like more information on the precautions we'll be taking, please refer to the FAQ page of this website. We imagine over the following days and weeks, we'll have more details to share with you so be sure to check back here often to get the most up-to-date information regarding all things wedding. While this won't be the wedding we imagined, we're determined to embrace this crazy time and make the best of a unprecedented situation.

While Kellie and Mark technically met at work, it all started at a Portland Timbers match in July of 2012. Long story short: Kellie rearranged some tickets so the cute guy with the great beard could attend, and Mark swept Kellie off her feet with his first words to her "Can I buy you a Coors Lite?".
