Real Wedding: Meghan and Chad

I'm so excited to announce this wonderful Bride and Groom, Meghan and Chad who (in my eyes) just got it right, from the location, the incorporation of religion/culture, styling and of course Meghan's gorgeous dress!

In Meghans words: Our wedding took place the weekend of August 20-22nd in Winthrop, WA (in the beautiful Methow Valley). We rented Spring Creek Ranch for three days and had a full on wedding festival. It was truly a grassroots effort- everyone pitched in to make it the amazing, beautiful event it was.

We started by riding our bikes to the wedding, over the North Cascades Highway, a 2 day journey. Friends drove our vehicles and all of our camping and wedding supplies, and we enjoyed spectacular views from the top of Rainy and Washington Passes. Once we arrived at the ranch, we had a small Shabbat potluck dinner and the wedding itself took place on Sunday afternoon. The ceremony, the heart of our wedding, was a true reflection of us. I'm Jewish and Chad is not, so we took a traditional Jewish ceremony and wove in a river theme, to reflect Chad's reverence for the water (as a fly fisherman, he finds spirituality in spending time outside in nature, often along a river).
