“I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.”

— Arwen from Lord of the Rings

My first meeting with Tracy and Jeff was at the venue they were getting married at, Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. I love this place and was so excited they had chosen it for their big day. Over a couple of Rubys and some tots, I got to know this amazing couple. They are so funny! From the silly jokes Jeff makes to the hilarious, loving way they described their family dynamics, they had me laughing the whole time. Top it all off, they are adorable and madly in love with each other.

Rehearsal the night before went off without a hitch, the bridal party really reflected the couples fun spirit. The next day, an Oregon monster storm came through. We are talking storm warnings and power outages kind of a storm. They didn’t even flinch. Rain on your wedding day is good luck anyways! After the beautiful ceremony, we headed inside the rustic, historic Octagon Barn. Inside they ate dinner, listened to the most heartfelt speeches from their friends and family and danced the night away.

Planning with Tracy and Jeff was a whirlwind. They got engaged in late July and decided they were having a wedding in October that same year and we didn’t have our first meeting until September! Both of them were extremely organized every step of the way. Tracy gave me all her decor in labeled boxes with a itemized list and description of every thing that needed to be put out. A planner’s dream.
