Jim & Trish are truly special humans—the kind who remind us that love doesn’t need to follow a straight line but *somehow* always finds its way to exactly where it belongs.💖
Living out of state but loving all the incredible vegan spots the Portland metro has to offer, we crafted a day that was so them—intentional, simple, & overflowing with meaning & magnitude. They stayed at Edgefield, where we met for a sweet legal ceremony alongside two kindhearted witnesses who we met that very day (reaffirming how the right people show up precisely when they’re meant to 💛).
From there, the three of us ventured into the Columbia River Gorge, where, overlooking a breathtaking waterfall, I had the honor of delivering a ceremony created just for them—one that held nearly 50 years of connection, growth, & returning home to each other.💞
From two teenagers in 1978—bonding over classical guitar & an unforgettable rendition of “Time in a Bottle”—to decades of life lived, letters written, paths wandered, & a beautiful reconnection in 2003… their love has always existed beyond time. Like a song that never really ends, just pauses for a fermāta, then begins again.🎵
And on this day, their long-awaited “someday when we’re married” became beautiful, unforgettable reality! 💫
Jim & Trish, your story is living proof that love—true, deep, soul-aligned love—is patient, expansive, & always right on time. What a gift it was to witness, honor & be a small but cherished part of it!
Congratulations again, Newlyweds! ✨🥂✨
