As I plan the wedding of my dreams with the love of my life, I can't help but periodically reflect on my privilege. I am so blessed to have a loving, loyal man in my life, a gorgeous antique ring on my hand, and a supportive family that's helping me throw a beautiful celebration. Also, as a woman who has chosen to wed a man, I am privileged in that the law supports my choice of partner.
A marriage is a union bound with love; a celebration of hope and positivity. When I contemplate the state of the modern world, it seems to me that we can use all of the love and positivity we can get. I look forward to a time when everyone, regardless of their sexuality, has the legal right to marry whomever they choose. I hope that day comes soon.

Welcome to Our Wedding Site!
Trying to decide where to stay while in town? Wondering if there are fun places to eat and sights to see while you're here? Can't decide what to get us as a wedding gift? Have a good look around and all of your questions will be answered.
Here are a couple of updates:
Stressing about what to wear? Don't! Wear what makes you comfortable and happy. This is not a black tie event. Its summer, its outside, and its PORTLAND.
There will be a reception with dinner and dancing following the ceremony. It will be at the same location as the ceremony- the beautiful Classical Chinese Garden.
Hoping for some "face-time" with us before the wedding? Everyone is invited to join us for drinks on Saturday night at Another Roadside Attraction following the rehearsal dinner. This funky bar is just around the block from Nostrana. We'll also be planning some other fun activities (henna body painting/potluck/story-sharing for the ladies on Friday?? hiking on Saturday?), so stay tuned.
Still wondering what the Chinese characters on our Save the Date say? Scroll on down!
And don't forget to RSVP! We can't wait to see you!

Getting Around Portland
Getting around in Portland is easy. No need to even rent a car. The MAX light rail train will meet you at the airport and take you downtown, stopping just two blocks from the Marriott or the Chinese Garden. So far, we've planned all wedding activities to be accessible by public transportation. Just go to the TriMet website, put in your start and end locations and it will tell you what bus/train to take. Here's the link: http://trimet.org/.
Only if you're planning to go outside of Portland will you need a car. Like if you're planning a day trip to Mt. Hood, Sauvie Island, or Cannon Beach. We recommend car-pooling!
