Goodbye Breakfast

Welcome!

We’re so glad you’re here. We’re thrilled to be celebrating at one of our favorite places—McMenamins Edgefield—a captivating compound hotel which holds extra special memories for us. Our hope is to make the wedding a weekend-long celebration so we can spend more time with out-of-town guests and everyone we love. The weekend begins Friday, 8/20/2027, at 4:00 PM with a welcome/rehearsal dinner, continues with the main event on Saturday, and wraps up with a goodbye breakfast Sunday morning. We’d love for you to stay both nights, but we completely understand if you can only join us for part of the weekend. We’re so grateful to be surrounded by our friends and family — thank you for being part of this time with us. Keep in mind, more information will be added and timelines may shift slightly as the date approaches. If you hope to stay at McMenamins for the night/weekend, we highly recommend booking as early as possible, as they book up quickly in the summer months. If you have any questions, please reach out to either of us.

Our Wedding

Dress Code

Travel

Most of you will be driving down from the Seattle/Tacoma area, a 2.5-3 hour drive without traffic. For those who are only able to join us for the evening, the ceremony will be starting later in the day so you should have plenty of time to travel. Friends and family joining us from Michigan, the easiest airport to fly into is PDX. A quick 15 minute drive to Edgefield, or 20 minutes to downtown Portland. If you prefer not to rent a car, rideshares like Lyft and Uber are widely available and make getting around easy.

Things to Do

Q + A

Just a small town girl in a big city in need of a friend during a difficult time, she found Rion. They were work buddies but Rion showed up for her with kindness, protection, and strength. In him, she discovered what it felt like to be supported and cared for.Slowly, she fell in love and their friendship grew alongside it. On a foundation of soup dumplings and tequila, together, they built a life—one shaped by challenges, personal growth, and a love deeper than either of them ever imagined. She can't wait to say "I do".

Her Side

Just an easy going boy living a simple life tending bar and being a father. He wasn't exactly sure what it was he was looking for but he knew he was missing something. Knew that there was more but struggled to find motivation; until he met Tori. A light emerged in his life he hadn't known before.A friendship became a relationship became his everything. Something in her made him see something in himself, and through the challenges and changes they both came out as a team, stronger than ever. He can't wait to say "I do".
