Casual Attire: Think elevated summer ease. Linen, denim, sneakers, sandals, breezy dresses will all fit right in. Please avoid all-white attire.
We’re kicking off the weekend with an optional relaxed evening under the pines at Skamania Lodge’s Boulder Terrace. Expect a laid-back vibe, taco dinner, and plenty of wine and beer as we soak up time with all of you before the big day. We'll be offering an "open mic" for those who might like to share a few words with the couple in advance of the big day. Transportation is not provided, but free parking is available at Skamania Lodge. This event is made possible by a generous gift from Kylee’s grandparents, Pat & Bill Dixon.
9:00 am - 9:30 am
Athletic Attire: Running shoes recommended.
Ty has characteristically convinced us that the best way to start the wedding weekend is with a quick fitness challenge…so if you’re up for a little sweat, join us for “Tymania at Skamania” on Skamania’s scenic Gorge Loop Fitness Trail. It’s a one-mile loop through the forest, featuring fitness stations along the way and incredible glimpses of the Columbia River. Free parking is available at Skamania Lodge. This event is both free and optional.
9:30 am - 10:15 am
Athletic Attire: Yoga clothes, athleisure or comfortable, stretchy clothing.
For a slightly more zen start to the day, join us on the Moonlight Ceremony lawn at Skamania Lodge for a 45-minute yoga flow, one of Ky & Ty's favorite ways to ground and move together. Maid of Honor & certified yoga teacher Jackie will be leading the session! Yoga mats will be provided, and all levels are welcome. Transportation is not provided, but free parking is available at Skamania Lodge. This event is both free and optional.
12:00 pm - 6:00 pm
